11/25/06
A low-key, country-inflected drama with a striking lead performance by Ashley Judd
11/09/06
If and when Come Early Morning ever resurfaces on DVD, order it immediately—and while you’re at it, order Chasing Amy too, if you haven’t already seen it, and enjoy a dandy double feature with two country girls of enormous talent.

Top Critic'Come Early Morning' is a terrific accomplishment by [Joey Lauren] Adams -- a commendable first effort, making me hope that it's merely the beginning of a promising new aspect of her career as both a director and a writer.
11/10/06
A mostly watchable, somewhat satisfying drama.

Top CriticWe’ve met characters like Lucy before and we’ve seen movies like Come Early Morning before, but doesn’t automatically make Joey Lauren Adams’ directorial debut less than a good movie.
01/28/06
Judd surely deserves the lion's share of kudos for the movie's success...
02/28/08
custom made for Judd; she's brilliant
01/14/08
This intensely personal film may not bring either [Joey Lauren Adams and Ashley Judd] widespread acclaim, but it's a small triumph nonetheless.
11/10/06
Judd’s delicate portrayal draws a pointed distinction between Lucy’s volatile disposition and her genuine independence.
11/09/06
In intent, but not execution, this familiar rural tale of redemption of an alcoholic sexually-loose woman brings to mind Robert Duvall's role Tender Mercies and Nunez's far superior Ruby in Paradise, also starring Ashley Judd.
11/03/06
The performances are admirable all around, but they're in the service of a film that doesn't otherwise merit much attention.
02/15/06
In fact this film is generally about nothing. There's an attempt to show some growth in some relationships, but there really isn't any and we're left where we started.
11/18/06
With an honest and starkly minimalist approach, Adams paints a vivid, often painful portrait of a woman who has nothing to look forward to except the next one-night stand.
07/10/07
Come Early Morning is anchored by a deep affection for its very anti-urban locale and an authentic attempt to capture the people populating the milieu.
05/20/06
Subdued and deliberate, but also sensitive and quietly moving. And it gives Judd a chance to shine as a real actress again.

11/20/08
An engrossing drama where transformation is the holy grail sought by a woman determined to change her life.
11/10/06
It's a Southern story, but not cloying in the way that many Hollywood versions of the rustic South are.
