Overview
A thirty-something southern woman searches for love, despite the burdens she carries with her.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is a quietly powerful film about small-town Southern living that avoids all the usual cliches and makes us feel as if we're dropping in on real lives in mid-stream.
The baby-voiced costar of Chasing Amy proves an effortless filmmaker, turning Lucy's journey into the awakening of a soul.
In Come Early Morning, Ashley Judd delivers her most natural screen performance since Ruby in Paradise, the film that pushed her toward stardom in 1993.
In a way, the movie itself is an example of that philosophy put into practice. [Director] Adams clearly did a lot of soul-searching as she wrote the story. Her introspective script provides another actress with a great role and a new start.
