Leave your thoughts about Ruby in Paradise.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRuby in Paradise is a breathtaking movie about a young woman who opens the book of her life to a fresh page, and begins to write. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisThe film is as listless as its self-absorbed heroine. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThanks to a natural and highly charismatic performance by Judd, Ruby in Paradise has a graceful lyricism--as well as a complex sense of what living in today's world is like--that will stay with you; the tempo is slow and dreamy, but the flavor is rich, and it lasts. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittA wonderfully expressive character study exhibiting a thoughtfulness and concern for real life rare in American cinema, Ruby in Paradise rewards the care put into it and the patience it asks of audiences. After an eight-year layoff from filmmaking after A Flash of Green, Victor Nunez has returned with a film of gentle, intelligent qualities, vividly portraying a young woman's inner life. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallNunez handles Ruby's fragile personal growth with a loving concern that might escape most male filmmakers. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonA subdued, atmospheric, finely crafted independent picture. |
| The GuardianDerek MalcolmDirector Nunez, whose previous films (Gal Young 'Un, A Flash of Green) are also set in Florida, has an ability to translate states of mind into their native environments and vice versa. In this instance, his regional realism combines with Judd's transfixing performance to create a movie that sticks to your ribs. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMale coming-of-age stories are a dime-a-dozen, but the same cannot be said for the female equivalent, especially when the story is told with intelligence and sensitivity. This makes Ruby in Paradise a rare and welcome change of pace. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyA modestly budgeted but richly rewarding look at a Tennessee housewife's search for a better life. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarRuby in Paradise is more often pensive than genuinely thoughtful, but it is helped immensely by Ms. Judd's gravity and strength. |
