| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA quirky, funny but moving story with terrific performances all around. |
| Washington PostHal Hinson[A] funny, moving, spectacularly acted little film. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksSo much here is rich and touching, not to mention the string of superb performances, that the film still merits a recommendation. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenTruly extraordinary performances, the familiar yet rarely predictable script and the fertile subtext that looks at sexuality and desire through feminist question marks, makes 'Rambling Rose' one of the year's most touching and absorbing movie experiences. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe intimate rhythms these two superb actors work up together capture a lifetime of marriage. Duvall and Ladd are the true heart and soul of Rambling Rose. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySeen in a flashback through the eyes of an adolescent, this uncommon coming-of-age tale, which raises poignant questions about the mysteries of sex and love, flaunts a superb performance from Laura Dern as the promiscuous girl |
| User ReviewJohn BRambling Rose is the definitive Laura Dern performance. I particularly like mother-daughter performances as there is often additional sizzle to fictional work and Dern and Diane Ladd don't disappoint. |
| User ReviewLee MAn ingenue nymphomaniacâ(TM)s turbulent life rooted in the 1930s depression period of southern USA, served as a housemaid in a hotel owner's home, our heroine Rose, an uncultured but stalwart gal whose miserable past is the hidden wound cuts her deep and being unaware of her sex-addicted disposition, her path of looking for Mr. Right is rather bumpy and poignant. The film is narrated by Buddy, the eldest son of the hotel owner, Rose is his first love and always occupies a special place in his heart. Although Rose is the potent pillar of the film, female director Martha Coolidge has steadily integrates a handful of equally vivid characters (young Buddy, his Daddy and Mother) into a moderate template of chaneling and rescuing Rose from her self-destructive hazard, despite of wanting any laudable gambits in highlighting the narrative skills and the plot is always stuck into a hoary frivolousness, the complete work is at best satisfactory. The film is noteworthy by setting a record in the history of the academy by virtue of a real mother-daughter pair garners two Oscar nominations in the same film, Dern and Ladd (a second collaboration in a film after Lynch's WILD AT HEART 1990, 7/10) both showcase their stunning acting bent. Dern has nailed a quite innately delicate role since Rose is the damaged goods by nature, but her pure kindness and innocence hasn't been impaired and her female vulnerability is the real gem under the circumstance, even if she would mature gracefully later and give a more challenging and nail-biting performance in Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (2006, 7/10), this film is among the crests of her filmography nonetheless. Ladd, after the pompous and lavish turn in WILD AT HEART, unexpectedly chooses a more positive and orthodox good-lady embodiment, her award-worthy moment confidently present itself in the latter part of the film, and single-handedly salvaging Rose from the misogyny from seedy male-predominance. But Duvall is also glittering in his category-fraud (I put him in leading) portrait of a man who is much wiser than he initially appears, and a juvenile Lukas Haas, almost being provocative while driven by curious sex impulse to take advantage of Rose, which might be the most contentious segment of the film per se, and at least he acts like a pro. My final conclusion is that regardless of its maternal inclination of female-skewing demography, it is indeed a thespian playing field with decent fodder. |
| User ReviewAlberto ALovely coming of age set in the South of USA during the great depression. Stirring performance from Laura Dern and Diane Ladd. Very enjoyable and touching film especially of the relationship between Rose and Buddy and Rose and Mrs Hillyer. |
| User ReviewMatt KThis film was very awkward, but that was the point. Rose and Buddy had a very awkward relationship. Even the filming style was awkward, with too tight of close-ups and bizarre staging. I want to think that it was on purpose, but regardless if it was or wasn't, it worked completely awesomely. The bookends were a little cheesy, but I love John Heard (the dad in Home Alone!) that I barely cared. |
