| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Has beautiful scenery and brief suspense, but that's not nearly enough to keep you immersed or captivated in the often contrived story or any of its poorly developed characters.

| Original Score: 4.25/10 | Jun 15, 2009

So the big question is -- how was Mariah? Surprisingly, Mrs. Cannon was the light in an otherwise morbid and boring film. She had flair, swagger and a convincing Texas accent.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 10, 2009

The problem with the film is that it is depressing for no real reason.

| Jun 8, 2009

It is a brooding, heavy story that has moments of visual beauty, but is ultimately imbued with a permanent glumness.

Full Review | Jun 8, 2009

Too formulaic to be the sort of low-budget film that garners critical buzz or a cult audience; and too 'indie' to click with the mainstream crowd.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 8, 2009

A rewarding and moving small drama with exceptionally fine performances all around.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2009

The good news for Carey is that she gets to prove she's a pretty decent actress after all. The bad news, of course, is that she's done it in a movie no one has any other reason to see.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2009

Two brothers slowly make their way from New Mexico back to their home in Tennessee in a watery indie drama.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 5, 2009

As a Texas waitress, Carey is convincing -- more so than the film itself.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 5, 2009

The good news is that Carey isn't bad.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2009

Tennessee is an earnest, increasingly preposterous road movie about unhealed family wounds and fraternal bonds.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 5, 2009

Though Tennessee feels more like a demo reel than a movie, the simplicity of Peck's performance and the naked pain of Rothenberg's are quite affecting.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 5, 2009

Tennessee is occasionally a chore to sit through, but it does yield some third-act rewards for patient viewers, as the characters' willingness to sacrifice for the other is suddenly brought into sharp focus.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 4, 2009

Tennessee veers dangerously 
close to made-for-온라인카지노추천 territory. But you utterly believe the bond between the siblings, and Rothenberg excels in his role of a protective older bro who also happens to be a haunted binge drinker.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 3, 2009

Serving merely formulaic find-yourself melodrama, the film coasts along lackadaisically.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 1, 2009

Mariah Carey is more than just the big star in this small story. She's the warm, charismatic, deliciously down home presence that fills the screen with charm to spare, though her character lacks the attention and depth lavished upon the male protagonists.

| May 27, 2009

Let's knock out the elephant in the room from the jump: Mariah Carey turns in a perfectly respectable performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 2, 2009

The dramatic payoffs are either nonexistent or overly manipulated, and for a journey that starts with so much deep-set pain and regret to end with a sentimental twist feels, to use a phrase anathema in Carey's world, off-key.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2008

Woodley's film mostly floats along on its melancholy drift, so well-attuned to the low-key rhythms of its beaten-down characters that it never quite summons up enough energy for the rest of us, who are along for the ride.
