Fonda, Huffman, and Lohan do some excellent ensemble work in this nicely paced and absorbing screenplay. There is just the right amount of humor to keep the film buoyant and alive. Alcoholism and sexual abuse are uneasy subjects to tackle. Georgia Rules offers the viewer more than just a glimpse into these issues. The film provides strong characters who work their way through their demons with spirit and humanity. Dermot Mulroney does fine work, as the Idahoan doctor/veterinarian, who helps Lohan "find her way home." Huffman is truly touching as a mother torn between truth and lies. Fonda is especially wonderful. Her strength as an actress is something rare these days. She truly gels the film into worthwhile cinema. I hope she many more worthwhile roles ahead of her.
