    Wonderfully acted movie about the love/hate relationship between an eccentric, free-spirited but clinging mother and her sensitive and intelligent daughter. At its best, the film focuses on the logistics of day-to-day existence that render it more plausible and compelling than the average tearjerking movie of this sort. Portman is especially dazzling.

    A monumentally graceful union of two extremely dissimilar stars, one inspired cinematographer and an exceptionally patient, curious, independent-minded director.

    Corny and blubbery as it is, still packs an emotional wallop.

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