"Scattered showers, 16 September 2002
Author: Mattias Thuresson from Stockholm, Sweden

The cast is superb but the script is hopeless. It scatters its potential in all directions: a bit of courtroom drama, breast cancer, a farmboy lover and a childhood of sexual abuse until your head is spinning. And it's not the fault of the cast, Jessica Lange in particular is superb. "

is that a minimum of ten lines?

Those guidelines haven't always been set, I don't think, so the comment was probably written before that guideline was put in place.

There's a ten-line minimum? I've been posting on imdb message boards for years and have rarely ever written more than ten lines.
