COME EARLY MORNING
A beautifully rendered film about a southern woman in a small-town, rural community on what even normally hardhearted Entertainment Weekly critic Owen Gleiberman recognized is on a "journey to awaken her soul." Fueled
by a nuanced Academy Award worthy performance by Ashley Judd, this film offers a uniquely Southern takes on music, faith, family and femininity that the NY Times called a "triumph". A perfect post-popcorn Valentine's Day movie. Rated R. 97 min.
