VHS Movie Reviews of Ruby in Paradise
Movie Review: I Want My DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Would the powers that be please put this wonderful little gem out on DVD please!Movie Review: Ashley Judd at her best
Summary: 5 Stars
Too bad she never has anything this good since... Guess she chose to be a star rather than an artist.Movie Review: A woman running away from a difficult and limited life
Summary: 4 Stars
RUBY IN PARADISE, a very difficult movie to find,( not yet
on DVD) , consists of a small story, that is comparable to
Judd's other movie "Where the Heart Is", in the sense that
we see a young person, in this case, a woman running away
from a difficult and limited life in rural America,
perhaps Tennessee, dreaming to get out of the future that
everyone expects her to have, and live, in a preordained
fashion. In that sense, the picture underlines the desire
for youth to often try to break free, and aspire to
something greater than what they have right now, and to
search and carve out a higher personal meaning and
message, from Life.
The story, written from a male author, apparently,
imagining what goes on in a young woman's mind in such a
situation, is acceptably written, if not, a bit slow,
stereotypical and one-dimensional. However, those
downsides are made up for by the realistic qualities shown
in the movie, by the actors, such as Judd, Bentley
Mitchum, Dorothy Lyman, for example, many who play their roles
with enormous credibility and sincerity.
This movie also recalls similar pieces, made from the
1980's, such as Nastassja Kinski's PARIS TEXAS, showing a
man searching for the mother of his child, and longing for
a personal meaning in his life.
Obviously, the story's one-dimensional quality limits
perhaps what could normally be demonstrated by the actors,
however, the intention of the writer, and of the story, is
proably th extent to which many people are intropsective,
and live happy lives even with the moderate financial and
human support they can rely on, that others might see as
insufficient, lacking or unsatisfactory.

Movie Review: I love the quiet passion in this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
not much in the way of dialogue but the cinematography and Ashley Judd's quiet stillness makes this movie wonderful. I loved it.
