| Title: | THE SPITFIRE GRILL |
| Stars: | Alison Elliott, Ellen Burstyn, Marcia Gay Harden |
| Distributor: | Castle Rock/Columbia |
| Category: | Drama |
| Rating: | PG-13 |
| Content: | (2 or 3 obscenities; several mild expletives, but I caught no misuse of God's name other than a few "Oh my Gods"; in one scene the three leads get "looped" on Apple Jack; adult themes, but I thought the rating was a bit strict) |
| Review: | Newly released from prison, a young girl moves to a small town in Maine hoping to begin a new life. Perhaps too many subplots, but a pleasure to see such gentle storytelling, with three dimensional characters. Ms. Elliott is outstanding, making up for the film's flaws. |
