Critic Reviews

Rarely have two actresses been so effortless in their intimacy.

McTeer and Brown make magic ina film that is wonderfully funny, touching and vital.

McTeer delivers a messily cheerful performance as a woman who thinks nothing of brushing her teeth with beer.

You'll care what happens in this film with more than enough freshness and originality to avoid succumbing to girls-on-the-run cliches.

One of those wonderful, deeply personal pictures that pop up every now and then to lift your spirits.

The most liberating thing about this funny, touching, heartfelt little movie is the way it defies the rules and, in the end, begins to set its heroines free. They've earned it.

Has what it takes to becomes the year's first heartfelt sleeper.

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

A minimum of fuss and a welcome lack of clichés. For these things alone, Tumbleweeds should be not only praised, but seen

Janet McTeer doesn't imitate Mary Jo Walker, and she doesn't act her. She becomes her. It's almost spooky.
