  1. Susan Sarandon has never been more outrageously appealing. Natalie Portman is simply exquisite.

    Wang once again works splendidly with actresses, and boy, does he have a lot to work with this time.

    Compared to the glib, pandering rosiness of most current chick-flicks, Anywhere but Here is a class act.
  4. While adapting accomplished fiction such as this is a lure Hollywood can never resist, some characters breathe better on the page, and that is the case here.
