Ruby in Paradise
Ruby in Paradise ★★★ 1993 (R)
Leaving her deadend life in Tennessee, Gissing (Judd) moves to Panama City, Florida and lands a job selling souvenirs for nononsense Mildred Chambers (Ly man). Although pursued by two very different men, Ruby concentrates more on self exploration, recording her thoughts in a journal. A seemingly effortless portrayal of Ruby Lee by Judd (daughter of Naomi and sister of Wynonna Judd) makes for a pleasurable character study of a young woman on her own. 115m/C VHS . Ashley Judd, Todd Field, Bentley Mitchum, Allison Dean, Dorothy Lyman, Betsy Dowds; D: Victor Nunez; W: Victor Nunez; C: Alex Vlacos; M: Charles Engstrom. Ind. Spirit '94: Actress (Judd); Sundance '93: Grand Jury Prize.
