House of Cards (1993)
Director: Michael Lessac
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
When the death of their archeologist father causes a family to return to the US after years on the site of a Mayan dig in Mexico, mom Turner grows concerned by daughter Menina's increasingly withdrawn behaviour. Jones is the kindly psychiatrist with whom she clashes when his diagnosis doesn't match her own theories. A mediocre family saga in which a striking turn from young Menina eclipses the two stars.Author: TJ
