Come Early Morning

Depressing. I like the small town feel of this movie, and Ashely Judd, and that's about it. A day in the life of the down and out, with no resolution and a mere sliver of plot stretched out for 90 minutes or so. And it sure felt longer. Maybe this was meant to show how our parents and relatives can shape our future. But if so, it left absolutely no hope for change, only the despair of seeing the long road ahead to an end you never want to come. (or maybe want it now to get it over with).

We all make mistakes, and some of us repeat them so often that it's just a part of life we deal with as a given. I usually look to movies for an escape, but movies like this one are an all too real reminder that there isn't usually a happy ending. Personally, I didn't need the reminder.
