Product Description

From 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

2.0 out of 5 stars This movie portrays pedophilia, May 25 2007

This review is from: Rambling Rose (VHS Tape)

This movie is a somewhat dry drama about the protagonist's childhood memories of a time when a somewhat loose woman came to stay with his family. It was dry, that is, until there came the scene where she decided to hop into bed with the kid and despite repeatedly stating that allowing it to happen "robbing the craddle" and that it was wrong (or something to that effect), she did not disuade the kid from continuing to rub her between the legs until she reached climax. At this point my interest in the movie waned considerably, but I watched it through to its rather bland conclusion. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I still can't get over that scene. Certainly a movie depicting a man in bed with a little girl with a similar encounter just would not be tolerated by mainstream movie goers, so why is this at all acceptable? I certainly cannot recommend this movie.
