Square Dance

Adapted by Alan Hines from his own novel, this was Winona Ryder's second film and her role as the scripture-spouting Gemma Dillard ultimately proves too much for her. But she is definitely one of the plus points in a film that deals solely with eccentrics. Jason Robards is lazily effective as Ryder's crotchety grandpa and Jane Alexander (who also co-executive produced) lets off plenty of steam as her city-corrupted mother. However, it's Rob Lowe's wildly unbelievable performance as the mentally disabled Rory (which seems to belong to another film altogether) that you'll be discussing once the movie's over.
