The plot of “Come Early Morning” revolves around a Southern beauty, Lucy, (played by the exquisite Ashley Judd), who has the “norm” of waking up in other people’s beds, always with a hangover. The Edward Bass-produced film tells the story of a small town thirty-something lady who has succumbed to the effects of alcohol-fueled sprees and reckless one night stands. In order to overcome her self-destructive ways, regain her composure, and redeem herself, Lucy had to trace her roots and know more about her family history to determine the factors that paved the dark path she now treads.
“Come Early Morning” received a lot of accolades and made Ashley Judd a film critic darling. Owen Glieberman of Entertainment Weekly calls Lucy’s journey an “awakening of the soul,” while Frank Swietek of One Guy’s Opinion says the film “gives Judd a chance to shine as a real actress again.”
Lisa Rosae of Newark Star-Ledger adds, “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.”
