Powerfully disarming: Critics laud Edward Bass-produced film ‘Come Early Morning’

From Edward Bass


A Southern beauty who has the “norm” of waking up in other people’s beds with hangovers is the main character of the critically-acclaimed Edward Bass-produced film Come Early Morning.

The directorial debut of actor-turned-director Joey Lauren Adams stars Ashley Judd in the lead role (Lucy) and tells the story of a small town thirty-something lady who has fallen prey to the downbeat effects of alcohol-fueled sprees and reckless one-night stands. To help her overcome her self-destructive ways and regain her composure, Lucy has to rediscover her family history and look deep into the factors that paved the dark path she’s walking on.

The auspicious plot of the film escalated by the promising performance of Ashley Judd has made Come Early Morning a darling among film critics.


Combining Joey Lauren Adams’ creativity and Edward Bass’ perfectionism in portraying the critical aspects of an interesting character has proven effective, making the lead character’s journey, says Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, an “awakening of a soul.”

“In a way, the movie itself is an example of philosophy put into practice. 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,” remarks Lisa Rose of Newark Star-Ledger.


“Subdued and deliberate, but also sensitive and quietly moving,” states Frank Swietek of One Guy's Opinion in his critical standpoint of Producer Edward Bass’ film, “it gives Judd a chance to shine as a real actress again.”
