Elliott and Steenburgen lend a human dimension to the roles of a small-town sheriff and his wife. The ease with which they inhabit these characters suggests that somewhere inside the charred husk of The Morgans is the premise for an O.K. movie, or maybe a sitcom, about two middle-aged marrieds who give shelter and wisdom to outsiders on the lam.

His films identify with a generation still in turmoil over lost innocence and the transition between adolescence...
