The tension is so palpable in The Baby Dance, it feels more like a stage play than an adaptation of one. Laura Dern, gifted at playing white-trash roles (Citizen Ruth), is Wanda, a dirt-poor Louisiana mother pregnant with her fifth child who answers a wealthy couple's "baby wanted" ad. Stockard Channing is Rachel, the would-be adoptive mother who quietly clashes with Dern at every turn. The dance these two women do, along with their husbands, during the weeks before the baby's birth is fraught with friction. Both wear their desperation on their sleeves--one driven by poverty to sell her baby, the other by infertility to basically buy it. An unexpected soap opera-like twist threatens to undo the baby deal, setting up a sad, achy ending that fits right in with the movie's final song, a mournful country twang. --Valerie J. Nelson
