The latest movie reviews and articles by Steve Bloom
Joey Lauren Adams' directorial debut, Come Early Morning, stars Ashley Judd as a troubled single woman who lives in Arkansas. It's loosely autobiographical, based on Adams' life growing up in Little Rock. Adams has appeared in many movies, including The Break-up, Dazed and Confused, Harvard Man and Chasing Amy. Judd (pictured at left) is terrific in this smart indie film. Read my review at TheLmagazine.com.
