...Rivera-style. While Welles (MacFayden) and producer John Houseman (Elwes) try to persuade their government patron (Jones) not to cancel the show, Nelson Rockefeller (Cusack) romances Rivera (Blades), then literally trashes his work. There's also a young actress (Watson), an old ventriloquist (Murray), a swank saleswoman for fascism (Sarandon)--just about anyone who was alive then, and dabbling in the arts, is in this too-much of a movie...

...that question may be: Keep it authentic, keep it modest, keep it hopping. That's what happens in Tumbleweeds; that's what doesn't happen in Anywhere but Here. If you follow the form charts, it should have been otherwise. The latter film has the big stars (Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman), the name creators (director Wayne Wang of The Joy Luck Club; writer Alvin Sargent, adapting the best-selling novel by Mona Simpson), a capacious budget. What it doesn't have is a central figure you can give a hoot about...

She is one of those irritating people who cover wrongheadedness with eccentric excess. This is supposed to be charming, but it is merely tiresome. Portman pouts prettily at Adele's all too predictable capers--naturally she forgets to pay the utility bills, misreads her daughter's dreams and that handsome orthodontist's intentions. But you can feel these beats coming...

...Susan Sarandon playing Mom to Natalie Portman as the two make a painful-but-powerful odyssey to Beverly Hills from their Wisconsin hometown. Natalie's the adolescent daughter playing challenger to her Mom's new lifestyle as the two try to adjust to life in the capital of glamour. So for the soundtrack we'd expect...what? A selection of painful-but-powerful music from female musicians, detailing the trials and tribulations of adolescent uprooting and the love-hate mother-daughter relationship? That's exactly what we get. The soundtrack includes a smattering of love and/or loss songs, featuring Sarah...
