"Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring" is a sad little movie and unlike most films offers no particular resolution. When the film begins, a wayward daughter returns home after living the life of a hippie/drifter. Denise (Sally Field) is tired of begging and the bohemian life and just wants to be home. However, once there, the many family problems that pushed her out of the house in the first place all slowly come out...such as the drug abusing younger sister, the parents who hate drugs...but drink heavily and more. Overall, the film appears to be about the American Dream...and how it's all, at least according to the movie, a sack of crap.
The film is decent but does suffer from some overacting here and there as well as an unresolved ending. An interesting curio....but not a whole lot more.
