...even in her first film performance; she takes Ava through her first kiss and the beginning of her adolescence, and creates a very funny and touching portrait of a young girl growing up.

Yet his latest project, Ride With the Devil, based on Daniel Woodrell's novel Woe to Live On, reflects the damage too much praise can have on a director. All that distinguishes Ride with the Devil as anything other than a glorified action flick is a splattering of historical nuances and the occasional flirtation with character complexity...
