October 14, 2010This was a really good movie, despite that fact that Mariah Carey was in it. She isnt the best actress by any account, BUT the movie around her more than made up for it. The main cast was really talented, and they had me mesmerized. This was a very moving, touching slow paced dra... read more

April 9, 2010The good performances from the cast can?t quite save this one. Mariah Carey is quite an actress. She impressed me in ?Precious? and in this as well. It is a slow moving story, a little too slow for my taste. There are rewarding moments along the way, but in the end I just didn?t ... read more

Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
It is a brooding, heavy story that has moments of visual beauty, but is ultimately imbued with a permanent glumness. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
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. Full Review

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

The good news is that Carey isn't bad.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Tennessee is an earnest, increasingly preposterous road movie about unhealed family wounds and fraternal bonds.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
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

Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly
Tennessee veers dangerously close to made-for-TV territory. But you utterly believe the bond between the siblings, and Rothenberg excels in his role of a protective older bro who also happens t... Full Review
