I think you're right. She is at the point where she is great as a compliment, but when she's expected to carry the child actors, it's not so good.

This may have been an issue her whole career. She has all sorts of awards for supporting work or being part of an ensemble. A lot of the movies, where she had the lead, were poorly received. Could also be that she just never outgrew the angsty teenager/young adult role.

Haven't seen this myself, but this seemed to be well received:
