Synopsis
Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990) is an American drama-comedy directed by Jim Abrahams — watch it online on iFILM. Winona Ryder stars opposite Jeff Daniels and Stephen Tobolowsky in a film about small-town mythology and the stories we tell ourselves about where we come from.
Fifteen years ago, Roxy Carmichael left the tiny town of Clyde, Ohio, and never looked back. Now she is a celebrity, and Clyde is throwing a civic event in her honour. But while the rest of the town buzzes with excitement, sixteen-year-old Dinky Bossetti has a different reason to wait: she has convinced herself that Roxy is her birth mother, and the reunion will change everything. Ryder plays Dinky with exactly the kind of outsider precision she owned in early-career roles — sharp, lonely, quietly desperate. The film is gentle and a little uneven, but Ryder alone makes it worth watching. Stream Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990) online on iFILM.
