Reviews for Ruby in Paradise
Nunez's best film to date--The nominal plot is less important than the sharp observation of how a young woman in crisis (Ashley Judd at the top of her form) deals with life's inevitable frustrations until she reaches inner quietness.
Focuses on the inner life of one sensitive young woman as she ponders the meaning of love, loneliness, fear, intimacy and independence.
Judd is a most appealing performer with great screen presence. Here is your chance to see a genuine rising star in the early stages of her career.
