The Ballad of Lucy Whipple

Western drama starring Jena Malone and Glenn Close. A teenage girl and her widowed mother join the California gold rush in 1850s America.

Movie rating:
Stars:	Jena Malone, Glenn Close, Meat Loaf
Director:	Jeremy Kagan
Year:	2001
Running time:	82 mins
Certificate:	PG

Another hit for Glenn Close as the widder woman Arvella Whipple, who reluctantly escorts her unhappy New England teenage daughter Jena Malone and two other kids to start a new life in California. . Expert director Jeremy Kagan painstakingly shows frontier life at its grittiest, blowing a fresh breeze through the usual Western clichés, and there are superb star performances.

Great film, though I would never have picked it out to watch (I was laid up at the time). At the end, you feel you have watched something meaningful. Supposedly based on a book for kids but I enjoyed it (aged 54)!
