Come Early Morning, the directorial debut from Arkansas-native actress Joey Lauren Adams, was screened at Roger Ebertยs 9th annual Overlooked Film Festival last weekend. The Chicago Sun-Times รผber critic selects films that either havenยt grossed boffo box-office receipts that are worth another look or classic films worthy of a return to the big screen. Come Early Morning appeared at last yearยs Indie Memphis Film Festival and was awarded the Best Narrative Feature prize.
The film stars Ashley Judd as a woman trying to find her way in small-town Arkansas.
In addition to Come Early Morning, this yearยs Ebertfest included Felliniยs La Dolce Vita, Herzogยs Stroszek, and Ebertยs own Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Best of all, Come Early Morning is now available on DVD, so it need not be overlooked any longer.
