Review of Ruby in Paradise (1993) by Sukinino — 29 Jun 2021
Written and Directed by Victor Nunez, Ruby in Paradise serves as a refreshing, contemporary film on female empowerment and self-discovery. With in-depth character writing and melancholy cinematic shots of Florida, the film was a realistic and gentle portrayal of a young woman’s journey of self-discovery and independence after running away to start a new life for herself in Panama City, Florida.
Ashley Judd’s breakout role as Ruby Lee Gissing is worth watching as she elevates the complexities of adulthood and independence in a poignant, vulnerable, and natural performance. Overall, Ruby In Paradise offers an honest, stimulating tale of a woman who is determined to put her happiness in her own hands.
