Original reviews of Ashley Judd’s performance as Ruby Lee Gissing in Ruby in Paradise (1993, Victor Nunez; pictured here with Todd Field):

“A wonderfully expressive character study exhibiting a thoughtfulness and concern for real life rare in American cinema, Ruby in Paradise rewards the care put into it and the patience it asks of audiences. After an eight-year layoff from filmmaking after A Flash of Green, Victor Nunez has returned with a film of gentle, intelligent qualities, vividly portraying a young woman’s inner life. He is incalculably aided by the extraordinary central performance of Ashley Judd. Attractive, poised and possessed of a gravity that is immensely appealing, this new actress (the younger daughter of country singer Naomi Judd) manages to rivet one’s attention even when she is doing nothing.” — Variety (January 1993)

“With a girlish face that contrasts hauntingly with her steady, mature speaking voice, Ms. Judd projects a seductive radiance that becomes the film's inner core. She gives substance to the film's slow, reflective manner and to its suggestion that Ruby's journey of self-exploration may truly lead to some greater serenity. Ms. Judd, the daughter and younger sister, respectively, of the country singers Naomi and Wynonna Judd, has enough presence to carry Ruby in Paradise through its many long pauses.” — Janet Maslin, New York Times (October 1993)
