Film critic David Edelstein reviews The Interpreter starring Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman. Edelstein says Sydney Pollack's new film could use a lighter touch.

The new film from director Todd Solondz, Palindromes, begins with a funeral for Dawn Weiner, the memorable, much-maligned 11-year-old from the 1995 Solondz film Welcome to the Dollhouse. The main character of the new film is Dawn's cousin, but she's played by seven different and distinct actors.
