Review of Rambling Rose

Since I started looking at Laura Dern movies and heard so much about this one, rental stores didn't have it. I finally found on the internet where I could buy it for about $10, I got it along with one of my favorites, "Afterburn". The movie, a flashback to the 1930s, made a slow start but picked up later. It's a story that, for that period of time, has probably been played out thousands of times in real life all over the country. A young girl without a family to raise her in those times is a real tragedy, and Rose was doing the best she could..very lucky to even get the job and the home. I thought that Rose getting into bed with Buddy and what happened then was totally unnecessary to help the movie. Thats why I went down to a five. The ending was quite depressing after grown-up Buddy came back home and found out she had died. We didn't know anything about her for 25 years.
