  1. Rarely have two actresses been so effortless in their intimacy.

    McTeer's performance -- one of the best you'll see this year -- makes you realize anew how rare it is to see a female character this complex in American film.
  3. 80
    Though similar thematically to "Anywhere But Here," Tumbleweeds is a breath of fresh air that busts the cliches of dysfunctional mother-daughter sagas.
  4. Reviewed by: Ken Fox

    This far more modest production is a much more interesting film (than "Anywhere But Here").
