Victor Nuñez's insightful directorial debut, Ruby in Paradise, is a realistic portrayal of a young woman who is determined to take control of her own life and make something of herself. Played by the talented Ashley Judd, the story follows Ruby Lee Gissing as she navigates independence, romance, self-discovery, and keeping her head above water after running away from her troubled past and settling in Panama City, Florida. Ashley Judd is mesmerizing in her performance as Ruby, bringing dimension and relatability to the character as she goes through a journey of personal growth, identity, and purpose. Though some may think that a slice of life drama is boring or mundane, Ruby in Paradise has real qualities and shows the beauty, excitement, and charm of everyday life through Ruby as she discovers her self-worth and happiness.
