“Alabama Rose” (** out of four) was a wilted character melodrama about a young woman (Cayla Green) whose husband dies and finds renewed meaning and passion in her life being a model but starts to grow wary and suspicious of the various photographers and business people (Michael Pare, Mark Justice, and others) she crosses paths with. Interesting storyline about starting over and finding a new path in life is undercut by muddled and obtuse framework as film is limited in its emotional scope and power. Co-writer/executive producer J Spencer based this on his own experiences as a model photographer.
