Tumbleweeds
1999
***½
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Cast: Janet McTeer, Kimberly J. Brown, Jay O. Sanders, Gavin O'Connor
A white trash mother and her teenage daughter move from place to place and settle down only long enough to notice that mom's new boyfriend is no better than the one before. The story is familiar from other films, but this is a surprisingly funny and heartfelt drama, and the lead performances are all excellent.
