Entertainment Reviews:
...Movies like TUMBLEWEEDS exist in the details, not the outcome....We don't mind, since the characters have been intriguing to know and easy to care about...
Chicago Sun-Times
...McTeer and Brown make magic in a film that is wonderfully funny, touching and vital...
Rolling Stone
Rating: B --
A keenly observed chronicle of a single mother at the crossroads of self-realization, Gavin O'Connor's debut features a wonderful, Oscar-caliber performance from British Janet McTeer.

A deeply and disappointingly conventional picture masquerading as a free-spirited one.

Movies like Tumbleweeds exist in the details, not the outcome. Even a happy ending, we suspect, would be temporary. We don't mind, since the characters have been intriguing to know and easy to care about.

At the center of the film is one of the year's best performances -- that of British actress Janet McTeer.

Rating: B --
Given its obviousness, Tumbleweeds is still worthy of attention thanks principally to the queenly Janet McTeer.

Product Description:
Mary Jo Walker (Janet McTeer) is a Southern mother who hides her self-consciousness by overcompensating. She drinks, wears revealing outfits, and says things that other people would never even consider. Fleeing her latest abusive relationship, she and her daughter, twelve-year-old Ava (Kimberly Brown), head out west. They eventually settle in Starlight Beach, California, and seem to be getting along just fine on their own, but it isn't long before the cycle threatens to repeat itself. McTeer's portrayal of Mary Jo is so seamless that one might forget she is even acting. Reminiscent of the character driven films that made 1970s Hollywood so exhilarating.
