THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR WOMEN OF ALL AGESStory about a lovely, capable (country western type) woman caught in a bad marriage. The movie is about her growth, which leads to a final outcome (which I will not reveal).
A low budget film that shows that when you have a creative screenplay, you do not need a budget of tens of millions to produce an excellent movie.
Obviously does not have the polish of a high budget film in the area of sound editing and music background, but these drawbacks are overcome by the real and wonderful "earthy" people that you will meet. Because of the technical problems, I can't nominate it for the best movie of the year.
Written and Directed by Adrienne Sheely . . . who unfortunately was recently murdered.

POST SCRIPT TO THE WAITRESS. (Thanks to Debbie Glazer who emailed me about Adrienne Shelly's tragedy.)
(Edited from Yahoo Movies notes) Adrienne Shelly directed and wrote the WAITRESS. She was an actress unsure of her self prior to becoming a filmmaker. Unfortunately, her life was cut short by murder. Her talents both as an actress and as a director were admired by critics and film lovers, but remained largely unknown to movie goers even after her untimely death. She rejected the glitter of Hollywood for the grit of independent film, developing strong feelings about the objectification of women onscreen and believing that women belonged behind the camera as well as in front. With her last directing effort, the bittersweet comedy called "Waitress," which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival amidst sobs and cheers, Shelly left behind a message of hope despite her own hopes being callously and senselessly ended.
