I was only able to see 8-10 films while at sundance '06. Those films I saw did not include Alpha Dog which I am glad I did not stand and wait for in the 10 degree weather. From what I was able to see, Come Early Morning was by far my favorite. I was at the first screening as it was premiered and to hear Joey Lauren Adams introduce it was amazing. I left Sundance wanting to see it again and told so many people about it. When I saw spout.com let me pre order it, I signed up! Two weeks ago it should up in the mail as it was just released.
Ashley Judd does a great job I think as Lucy a single hard working female who enjoys drinking and making poor choices who early the next morning regrets them. (thus the name) You can see this as she throws something away every morning. Lucy's relationships are not the best with her father and grandparents and and it seems she holds many of them responsible for things that have happened to her. The film is slow at times, but I think Adams does a great job in this film and really makes you think about relationships you have or have had with both family and friends.
