Rambling Rose (1991) starring Laura Dern, Robert Duvall, Diane Ladd, Lukas Haas. Teenager named Rose (Dern) comes to live with a Southern family in the 1930s. She immediately falls in love with the man of the house, Daddy (Duvall), and young Buddy (Haas) falls in love with her. Soon she is stirring up the passions of all the men in the town, causing fist fights and biting policemen in brawls. Daddy decrees that she must go, but Mother (Ladd) takes Rose's side and argues for keeping her on. What Rose wants, she says, is love, not sex. The movie is well-acted all around, and Dern is superb in the role of Rose. Closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Grade: A-
