One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Fed up with her deadbeat grown kids and marginal urban existence, Juanita takes a Greyhound bus to Paper Moon, Montana where she reinvents herself and finds her mojo.
"Based on the novel 'Dancing on the Edge of the Roof' by Sheila Williams, 'Juanita' is a road movie that distances itself from the traditional Hollywood formula to focus on the story of an atypical protagonist: a single African-American mother played by the extraordinary Alfre Woodard ('12 Years a Slave'), who alone makes the movie worth it. Moreover, it is a sensitive and engaging story, a real surprise from director Clark Johnson, more focused on crime and action in productions such as 'Luke Cage' and 'Orange is the New Black'."
