1999 | 1h 54min | 6.1

One mother's big dreams, one daughter's bigger patience.

Anywhere but Here
6.1

Overview

Adele August operates on instinct, charm, and very little cash. Her teenage daughter Ann operates on plans, grades, and the quiet hope of an Ivy League future. When Adele uproots their Wisconsin life for Beverly Hills, chasing a vague but fierce ambition, Ann is dragged along into the sunshine and the chaos. Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman play the friction between a mother who dreams loudly and a daughter who just wants stability, with real warmth underneath the exasperation.
