Review of The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (2005) by Sv G — 15 May 2008
A totally WONderful movie - lifted from the best-selling memoir by Terry 'Tuff ' Ryan. The story of a mother (played by Julianne Moore) in Defiant, Ohio during the 50s & 60s who keeps her large family with 10 children afloat by winning contests.
Despite her husband's (played by Woody Harrelson) drinking and emotional outbursts she remains optimistic & ever resourceful. The end of the movie includes many of the actual Ryan children & the special features offers real family photos during the time this movie depicts.
A movie I'd recommend to most.
