The
NYT basically called it a good Lifetime
movie, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Canvas concerns a family, a preteen boy in particular, dealing with a mother with mental illness. Good performances throughout, but it is in particular a good account of the life of a ten-year-old boy. Some predictable moments, but one good rule of thumb -- Marcia Gay Harden usually is in pretty good films (
TV too), more so recently it seems.
