Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: At least Lina gets to meet her father, even if she doesn’t save him.
Con: We know the whole thing is an exercise in futility, and so does she. So why does she bother? Particularly when she never knew him at all. The fact that her children bring this up doesn't help.
