How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Scorsese's 1974 Ellen Burstyn vehicle, she won the Oscar for the role of a recently-widowed mother taking her son cross-country in search of her old singing career. Scorsese's most direct engagement with female-protagonist material; the New Hollywood / women's-picture register is rare in the catalog.

Kris Kristofferson and Diane Ladd anchor the supporting work; the Mel & Ruby's Diner sequences are the film's tonal anchor.
