In her debut work as director, Katie Holmes tells the story of Rita Carmichael, a single mom who collects useless boyfriends, dumps them and goes from town to town with her daughter Ruthie. At some point their car breaks down in a small town and they are forced to work at a diner to support themselves. And there they will meet new people and their lives will take an unexpected turn.
Every time I see Katie on the screen I feel sorry that her career was cut short by her marriage. She is a brilliant actress, far superior to so many others of her generation and should be getting better roles. Her direction is competent and her performance is flawless. Stefania LaVie Owen, who plays her daughter Ruthie, is also very good.
