**_Sexcapades in the Deep South during the Depression_**

**_Sexcapades in the Deep South during the Depression_** In 1935, a young woman with a dubious past (Laura Dern) moves in with a family in a small town in Georgia, but her extraordinary sexuality causes complications for the patriarch (Robert Duvall) and his precocious 13 years-old son (Lukas Haas). Dern’s mother, Diane Ladd, is on hand as the Columbia-educated matriarch. “Rambling Rose” (1991) is an adult-oriented period drama with coming-of-age elements similar to the later “The Cider House Rules,” the contemporaneous “The Man in the Moon” and the earlier “Ode to Billy Joe,” not to mention "The Great Santini.” While it’s the least of these, it’s not far off and worth checking out for those interested, but some might be turned off by the risqué bits. Duvall is always entertaining while Haas is outstanding. The book and script writer, Calder Willingham, wanted Tatum O’Neal to play the part of Rose. The role was reportedly also offered to Jodie Foster, Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep, but they declined for obvious reasons. Laura does a fine job in the challenging role, but she wasn't the stunning beauty that the story required. For instance, when she's walking down the street and literally every guy's jaw drops. Why Sure! Don’t get me wrong, she could’ve better fit the role if she were 7-8 years younger, like in “Grizzly II: Revenge.” The flick runs 1 hour, 52 minutes, and was shot in Ivanhoe, North Carolina, and EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, which is 30 miles southeast of Ivanhoe on the coast. GRADE: B-

A character study featuring fine performances by the leads

This film is essentially character-driven and features excellent performances throughout, particularly the four principals-Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Robert Duvall and Lukas Haas. Ladd and Dern mother and daughter in real life) give especially fine performances and deservedly received nominatins for the Academy Awards In the Actress and Supporting Actress categories. The film has a good script and is well done technically. But it is first and foremost an actor's movie and the acting carries the movie along. Well worth your time. Recommended.
