Anywhere But Here (Natalie Portman & Susan Sarandon)

Warning: Spoilers
Anywhere But Here is so good, solely propelled with powered performances by A-listers Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman. I really like this movie, it's really nice. Susan and Natalie are 2 of film's all-time greatest actresses, especially Portman who's like top 5 pure actress, easily top 10 of all-time. Sarandon is nearly as strong. But more so than their talented acting skills these 2 together possess even brighter starpowers. It's very gratifying seeing Sarandon with Portman coupling for one of the better dual-performance driven movies. Susan Sarandon is in her 50s, and from head to toe she looks hotter than ever, I mean that. Natalie's pretty too, ughhhhh. Anywhere But Here is a smart, well-made coming to age story filled with touchy, affectionate drama. Mother and daughter Adele and Ann August are the primary focus for the duration of this pleasant and authentic feeling film. The mother Adele is overambitious and overbearing, and too lost in her own world. The daughter Ann is astute and searching for affection from Adele but feeling rejection from her mother. Ann and Adele are experiencing varying outlooks towards life. I love this movie. I love both actresses. This is a 7, but one of the best 7s. It has the makeup and presence of an 8, but barely blunders without having enough eventful occurrences, no impacting unfolding story lines. It's really a homely movie. Anywhere But Here is really good, I love it, did I say that already?
