Based on the tragic life of the young Purslane Will, who after the death of her mother is faced to return to a life she thought was well and truly in her past. After leaving her abusive boyfriend, Pursy then arrives back to her house in New Orleans where she finds it inhabited with two alcoholic men. Bobby Long who is an ex-literature professor and his teaching assistant Lawson soon realise they have been granted a opportunity to redeem themselves by helping Pursy. This however, is easier said then done as Pursy is not a typical 18 year old girl, having been involved and surrounded by drugs, alcohol and abuse since birth.
After living together in Lorrain’s house, a sense of family becomes apparent. But similar to all families there are constant struggles facing the three. Lies and betrayal force Pursy to take drastic measures against her new family. But little does she know there is no escaping them once the truth is revealed.
I would rate this film 4 out of 5, for its originality and its refreshingly realistic story. Played exceptionally well by John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a unique drama.
