Solid story of independence for teens.

The movie drops in on a crucial part of their lives, follows it for a few minutes and then jettisons to another episode. It's like watching 10 short stories.

Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman put on an acting clinic that's a treat to watch, but, no matter how accomplished, a clinic is not a movie. They do a lot with a little, yet it's far from enough.

Portman is excellent, balancing wisdom and petulance, loyalty and imposition...

You start wishing you were anywhere but here -- preferably at last year's far funnier Slums of Beverly Hills.

A subtle and unexpected pleasure, all nuanced performance and character detail.

Natalie Portman is my new hero.

Adele and Ann are not easy screen characters to like, but they are easy to believe in -- especially in the skins of Sarandon and Portman.

Director Wayne Wang has delivered a solid entertainment, particularly for women, with Anywhere But Here.
January 16, 2003
The title might very well be an appropriate description of what more impatient filmgoers may be feeling after sitting through this frustratingly mediocre dramedy.
January 02, 2006
As a depiction of a loving-turbulent relationship between a single mom (Susan Sarandon) and her rebellious teenage daughter (Natalie Portman), Wang's meller is nicely crafted but old-fashioned like Hollywood's weepies of yesteryear.
January 01, 2000
Adele and Ann don't really seem like mother and daughter; their conflicts are more a matter of theatrical convenience than something born in the blood.
