Infobox

The film stars Meredith Baxter as Leah, While this is not ungrammatical per se, this could be restructured to The film tells the story of Leah (played by Meredith Baxter) for consistency with the other parentheticals used.

Done

Leah is suspicious of Dorothy's intentions, but Marcus thinks Dorothy is just trying to be a good friend and dismisses his wife's concerns. "and dismisses his wife's concerns" seems tautological. How about "but Marcus reassures her that Dorothy is just trying to be a good friend"?

Done

Dorothy encourages Robin to confide in her and Robin admits that she blames herself for her friend Amelia's death. precede and with a comma

Done

Dorothy shares that her younger sister was also named Amelia, but said sister accidentally fell to her death when they were playing in their attic as children. -> Dorothy shares that her younger sister was also named Amelia, who she claims accidentally fell to her death when they were playing in their attic as children.

Despite his criticisms, Morrison acknowledged that the film was "effective and occasionally well-handled," with an engaging plot and cast. Nonetheless, he felt that its constant gloom ultimately made for an unpleasant viewing experience. - These could be merged into one sentence with a conjunction, like Despite his criticisms, Morrison acknowledged that the film was "effective and occasionally well-handled", with an engaging plot and cast; although he felt that its constant gloom ultimately made for an unpleasant viewing experience. Comma is placed outside the quote for proper logical quotation
