There are a couple of too-clever ironic touches. The film is set on the day of Patty Hearst's capture, with Maggie obviously relating to the fugitive heiress. And when she has sex with her boyfriend in the family garage, there's a cut to a shot of one of the children threading a needle. But these are small quibbles about an otherwise quietly moving and well-wrought drama marked by superb performances, including newcomer Harris in her screen acting debut. And it's a pleasure, especially after his recent standout turns in "Winter's Bone" and "Martha Marcy May Marlene," to watch Hawkes solidly deliver the goods in a non-villainous role (as he also did in "The Sessions" this past fall). "The Playroom," a Freestyle release, is unrated. 83 minutes. ___
