Better with age
I first watched this when it was new out on DVD. I could relate more to the daughter character played by Natalie Portman. I didn’t mind the movie, but I thought it was just okay. Years later and now I can relate to Susan Sarandon’s character too and found I “got” the movie more. It’s a bit choppy and overlong, but I enjoyed it a lot. Middle aged single mum leaves her small town with teenage daughter in tow in search of a better life for them both. The daughter just resents the hell out of her and can’t wait to leave. Both of them are flawed, but in the end they have an understanding of each other. There’s no huge plot to this, it just follows them both over those few years and the people and relationships that come and go. Struggles with money, dealing with disappointment and the happy times in between. A real slice of life film.
