As Jack's waning heart beats out the last faint pulses of a lost cause, writer-director Miller delivers a frankly unnecessary critical autopsy of failed nature-child ideals (I know environmentalism is dead, I heard it on NPR a few weeks ago). 

Rose's petulant theatrics don't bespeak the [perils] of boundary-free parenting so much as a mental disorder, 
or 
a coarse [screenplay]. 

One of Kathleen's sons explains all: "Innocent people are just, uh, dangerous, I guess." But not too dangerous: This Ballad [strikes] a final note of prosaic humility, even if Miller all along has been promising The Wreck of the Hesperus with a Dylan score.
