I will never recommend it because of the bed scene between the two main characters. Never would I want anyone to think I condone a sex act between an adult and a child.
But the scene where Mother gives the doctor and her husband the what-for for suggesting a hysterectomy to cure Rose's nymphomania is Oscar-worthy.
Ladd, Dern, Haas and Duvall never disappoint in the perfectly casted story about eccentric southerners and a simple, young woman hungry for love and acceptance. And I found the mystery about Rose's mostly good health interesting, in that as a child from a poverty stricken family, what they ate during hard times.
Sans the DernHaas sex scene, I would highly recommend it, as it is an otherwise charming story.
