'A Good Baby' it appears to me, is allegorical; with its short character development, and long, emotional scenes playing to the simplicity, but frequent gore and mystery, of the backwoods of the middle southern USA. The juxtoposition of Miss Pretty's desire for a better life and Truman's need to stay close to home renders a tension between the two that settles the viewers angst when they part company in the long run. Baby is a pawn in the whole mix, and played beautifully by the young star.
