Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: This overrated period comic-drama, set in Georgia in the 1930s, featured the first mother-daughter team to be nominated for acting Oscars in the same year. Laura Dern plays a free-wheeling young woman who is taken in as a domestic by an upper-class family, headed by Robert Duvall and Diane Ladd (Dern's real-life mother). Rose, who tends to let her sexual urges get the best of her, scandalizes everyone in three counties (including Duvall and Lukas Haas, who plays his son) with her willing spirit. Do those kind of loose morals warrant court-ordered sterilization? Or does this young woman just need a guiding hand? While many fell for this cornpone shtick, directed by Martha Coolidge, it's a hard movie to cozy up to because Rose is such a caricature and the rest of the characters (with the exception of the always exceptional Duvall) are such sticks. --Marshall Fine

The mention of Laura Dern's awkwardness in high heels alone ... Read More

I saw the last word because it involves a 13-year-old boy whose hormones are raging and his brief relationship with a grown woman. There is one sex scene that may make people squirm a bit, so be forewarned. Other than that, I don't remember anything else objectionable.
I like the photography and always enjoy seeing the old days - here it's ... Read More

I remembered how much I liked this movie when it was first released, but upon rediscovering it recently, I was so entertained and impressed that I watched it five times in three days. It's simply a brilliant movie with fabulous acting and directing.

This movie is set in my hometown area. It is quite believable from the setting point of view. Good performances.
