Feeling smothered and confused after the death of her mother, Ruby Lee Gissing flees her Tennessee home. She drives south to the panhandle of Florida, because she has always dreamed of living near the ocean. Mildred Chambers (Dorothy Lyman), the owner of a souvenir shop, hires her as a clerk and befriends Ruby as well. Soon, there are two men in Ruby s life Mike McCaslin (Todd Field) and Mildred s ne er do well son, Ricky (Bentley Mitchum). Although Ruby briefly succumbs to the advances of one of them, by the film s end, she is still on her own, understanding that a new chapter of her life is just beginning. In addition to the picture taking home the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Judd was nominated for Best Actress by the New York Film Critics and won Best Female Lead at the Independent Spirits. Ruby in Paradise is an honorable addition to the growing genre of films about women who take to the road to find themselves, an avenue once only reserved for men in films like Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Scarecrow, and Sullivan s Travels. Writer director Victor Nu ez sidesteps the melodramatic possibilities (Ruby isn t toting a gun and she doesn t have to fight her way out of a possible rape), but he s also careful not to let the film descend into mawkish self absorption. Ruby is smart, but not so smart that she doesn t fall in with two men whose intentions are hardly honorable. The film s real strength is to avoid offering her a Prince Charming Ruby understand that she has to find strength in kissing a couple of frogs first. Even the title has a nice ring of ambiguity what looks like paradise to a Tennessee girl who has never seen the ocean is to some eyes the least glamorous and attractive stretch of Florida beachfront property, nicknamed the Redneck Riviera. Ashley Judd has gone on to bigger things than this film, but few better.
