Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Greg MuskewitzIt is a movie we have seen many times before, but with the performances of our wonderful two leads, and under the apt direction of Wayne Wang, this is quite the pleasurable experience.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisThese are real characters, fully observed, gutsily written, beautifully acted by the two leads.
TheFilmFile.com - 9/10 by Dustin PutmanAn exceptional motion picture. A true-to-life examination of the bond between a mother and a daughter, and has universal appeal for anyone who has ever had a parent.
CinemaSense.Com - 9/10 by Cornell & PetricelliAnywhere But Here works in no small part because of the pairing of the huge talents of Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA heartfelt drama about a mother and daughter having trouble connecting.
Jam! Movies - 9/10 by Louis B. HobsonAdele and Ann are not easy screen characters to like, but they are easy to believe in -- especially in the skins of Sarandon and Portman.
TNT RoughCut - 9/10 by Christopher BrandonWang once again works splendidly with actresses, and boy, does he have a lot to work with this time.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldSusan Sarandon has never been more outrageously appealing. Natalie Portman is simply exquisite.
Baltimore Sun - 8/10 by Ann HornadayThe movie's interest is not in the plot, which is episodic and "colorful," but in the performances.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThe story is a sort of "Stella Dallas Meets Slums of Beverly Hills," helped by heartfelt acting from its talented stars.
