Oak Hill (2009)

- written 5-1-09

Summary: Mollie has come back to this shelter for those needing a place to stay. Back again, she meets 2 new tenants: Elizabeth St. James, a washed-out actress who was quite something in her glory days & Madison, a woman whose struggle with substance abuse interferes with her dreams of becoming a dancer. Mollie tries to stay upbeat given her bad brand of comedy but sooner or later, the smile has to come off as she deals with her own issues.           Overall: Not a horror movie but I’m a softie for reviewing Rosemary Gore’s films so here’s an avenue for her work. Another solid performance by Rosemary as Mollie. I was a bit shocked at how old Sally Kirkland looked after all these years but she did a tremendous job in her role. It’s a poignant drama as we try and figure out what makes these 3 women continue to go despite all their obstacles!           Comparison: Steel Magnolias meets 28 Days
