When star-crossed misfits--he's pathologically shy and she has Tourette's syndrome--meet in the parking lot of a store from which they've each separately shoplifted, they know they're meant to be together. But their inability to fit in compels them to hit the road on a wild odyssey to nowhere. Nuanced, demanding performances lift this one above the more run-of-the-mill "lovers at large" fare. Tunney won the Best Actress cup at the Venice Film Festival. [More]

Tunney...is often mesmerizing as the afflicted young woman. Niagara Niagara also boasts a fine soundtrack and was appealingly lensed in upstate New York.

To term her work a tour-de-force is not to imply that she attacks the scenery; Tunney's effectiveness lies in her modulation and vulnerability.
