Raggedy Man

In a small Texas town during the dark, uncertain days of World War II, a divorced mother of two (Sissy Spacek) struggles valiantly — during a time when divorcees were scorned and gossipy tongues wagged — to build a life for her family. Eric Roberts co-stars in this uplifting and evocative slice of Americana directed by Spacek’s husband, Jack Fisk. The film’s best moments are in the nostalgic vein of Summer of ’42.
