Apr 4, 1997 · "Citizen Ruth," written and directed by Alexander Payne, is a satire with the reckless courage to take on both sides in the abortion debate. There are no positive characters in the film--certainly not Ruth, whose preferred state is oblivion, and who perks up only when both sides start making cash offers.
For his first feature film, Citizen Ruth (1996), Payne wrote the screenplay with a friend, Jim Taylor. A broad skewering of the pervasive abortion debate in American public life, the film starred Laura Dern as a pregnant woman who becomes a pawn of both pro-choice and pro-life activists.
