		Janet McTeer won the actress award in the comedy category for Tumbleweeds, another indie.
		In the case of Tumbleweeds (1999), it is star Janet McTeer who seems virtually certain to nab a nomination.

	[No title]
		McTeer's North Carolina drawl in Tumbleweeds is so authentically voiced that genuine Southerners are claiming her as one of their own.
		McTeer has already done three more films -- Songcatcher with Aidan Quinn, Waking the Dead with Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly and Christian Levring's Dogma film The King is Alive with Jennifer Jason Leigh - and is preparing to reprise her Nora in a film version of A Doll's House based on her own screenplay.
		With awards season coming soon, McTeer is flattered by the Oscar buzz surrounding her performance but is still flabbergasted by her sudden ascent.

	Janet McTeer - Biography - Moviefone
		Although British audiences had been familiar with her work since the mid-'80s, it wasn't until Janet McTeer's Oscar-nominated performance in 1999's Tumbleweeds that American filmgoers also began to take notice.
		It was her turn as a determined prison warden in the popular U.K. series The Governor, however, that found McTeer truly coming into her own on television.
		Her imposing (six foot-one inch) frame and emotional vulnerability worked in perfect harmony to create a compelling character, and McTeer began to become a familiar face to PBS viewers in the U.S. thanks to roles in such efforts as Precious Bane (1989) and The Black Velvet Gown (1991).

		McTeer though thinks “it’s absolutely brilliant, once you’ve got over the initial shock of ‘he’s in a suit and she’s in a Tudor frock’: these two women were iconic figures.
		McTeer admits, “It was more successful in America than it was here”, but her performance won her a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination, not that the awards particularly bother her: “The whole thing was just silly.
		McTeer laughs heartily about awards, wetsuits and being soaked on a daily basis, but on the subject of acting as a profession, she is actually very serious.

	INTERVIEW: An Improv Delight: "Tumbleweeds" with Gavin O'Connor and Janet McTeer
		McTeer: Some of the scenes were line by line and were never changed.
		McTeer: We only had one very short week, but I had been attached to the project for a year, so Gavin and I and Kimberly [Brown, co-writer of "Tumbleweeds"] had many meetings.
		McTeer: You know, when the going went really tough, and they were offered a lot more money for this and they insisted on doing it with me. I just think that's really amazing.

		British actress Janet McTeer on the importance of training, the difficulty of Southern accents and why, at 39, her movie career is suddenly taking off.
		Although new to the screen, McTeer had a similar impact on the New York theater world in 1997 with her bold, Tony award-winning performance of Nora in Ibsen's "A Doll's House" on Broadway.
		McTeer is such a convincing Southern belle in the film that to hear her confident, conversational English lilt actually captures you by surprise.

	Tumbleweeds Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		McTeer plays Mary Jo, an oft-married sex kitten from North Carolina whose taste runs toward abusive men and vintage clothing that shows off her long legs and ample cleavage.
		As for Janet McTeer, she merits every bit of panting praise by the critics.
		Her Mary Jo is a force of nature, but McTeer doesn't resort to show-stopping tactics or sugarcoating her spirit to achieve this sublime characterization.

	Tumbleweeds : DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		British actress Janet McTeer went on to win a well-deserved best Actress Oscar nomination for her role as Mary Jo Walker a flaky South Carolinian, who runs backwards and forwards towards abusive men and searches for love in all the wrong places.
		Janet McTeer is endearing as the easy going, life loving Mary Jo and Kimberly Brown playing Eva is as sweet as can be (yet always a normal child).
		So authentic is Janet McTeer´s performance as a feisty Southern mother and faded party girl in Tumbleweeds that if you didn´t know better, you´d say this wasn´t the same Janet McTeer, British stage actress, who won a Tony as Nora in Ibsen´s A Doll´s House on Broadway.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Songcatcher" review (2001) Maggie Greenwald, Janet McTeer, Aidan Quinn, Pat Carroll, Jane Adams
		Wonderfully chameleonic actress Janet McTeer ("The King Is Alive," "Tumbleweeds") gives another of her distinctive and deeply immersed performances in "Songcatcher" as a priggish 1900s music scholar.
		A terse, obstinate, overeducated woman who is deeply resentful at having been passed up for a promotion to full professor at her university (in favor of a man), she abandons civilization for a spell to visit her sister (Jane Adams), a teacher at a very remote one-room school in the Appalachian Mountains.
		McTeer's intense and austere performance serves the story well as her character makes the discovery of her professional life while reluctantly roughing it with the rustic locals: The isolated society of struggling mountain people has preserved, intact, for hundreds of years the Scots-Irish folk songs carried to the New World by their ancestors.

		The King Is Alive is currently receiving a limited theatrical release, and Levring and co-star Janet McTeer stopped by San Francisco on their whirlwind promotional tour for the film.

		McTeer's Mary Jo is a gregarious single mother; a happy-go-lucky Southern gal who drags her adolescent daughter around the country fleeing from dead-end jobs and boyfriends.
		Mary Jo is sexy, and effortlessly seductive to both sexes, but her trials and tribulations wouldn't look out of place in a daytime soap.
		'I rather think not,' McTeer replied tartly, 'unless you mean the south of England.' In fact she was born and raised in York.

	OFFOFFOFF film review TUMBLEWEEDS movie by Gavin O'Connor with Janet McTeer, Kimberly Brown, Gavin O'Connor, Jay O. ...
		Writer/director O'Connor, who also appears in the film as a melancholy truck driver, might think he has something going here but what he has is a Performance (capital "P") and a handful of secondary characters and situations that don't amount to much.
		That Performance comes courtesy of Janet McTeer, a respected English stage actress who won a Tony for her performance as Nora in the 1997 West End revival of Ibsen's "A Doll's House." In "Tumbleweeds," McTeer makes a radical departure by playing Mary Jo, a sassy West Virginian single mom.
		McTeer throws herself into the role with aplomb: Mary Jo is brash and uninhibited, dresses for sexual success, and has zero talent when it comes to picking suitable mates (or "future ex-husbands" as her 12-year-old daughter likes to quip).

	The Intended (2002): Janet McTeer, Brenda Fricker, Olympia Dukakis, JJ Feild - PopMatters Film Review
		A disciple of Dogme 95, Danish director Kristian Levring infuses his tale, co-written with star Janet McTeer, with a sense of raw theatricality very much suited to this tale of lust, murder, and madness.
		In 1924, the idealistic Sarah (McTeer) and her younger fiancé Hamish (JJ Feild) arrive at an ivory trading outpost in the Malaysian jungle.
		Though Levring and McTeer craft a tale about the forgiving, determined nature of love in the face of tremendous obstacles, they spike that romantic conceit with a healthy dose of emotional violence.

	Tumbleweeds (1999): Janet McTeer, Kimberly J. Brown, Jay O. Sanders, Gavin O'Connor - PopMatters Film Review
		Mary Jo Walker (McTeer) is the spontaneous and romantic (or so she defines herself) woman-on-the-run from yet another relationship gone sour.
		Kimberly Brown deftly balances 12-year-old Ava's beyond-her-years wisdom in dealing with her mother's problems and the childishness that befits her age (crying in her mother's arms over her stolen mice, later asking for advice on how to breathe and kiss at the same time).
		Similarly, McTeer tempers Mary Jo's irresponsibility and impulsiveness with a fierce and wholly convincing love for her daughter.

		Standing over six feet, with reddish hair, Janet McTeer has frequently been compared with another extraordinary British actress, Vanessa Redgrave.
		While this long-faced, smoky-voiced actress may have been considered too tall to protray conventional ingenues, she has managed to carve a niche as a versatile and accomplished performer, equally at home on stage or screen.
		McTeer delivered an outstanding turn when cast against type as the clumsy, unsure Hazel in the little-seen "Hawks" (1988) and was fine as Ellen Dean in the uneven 1992 remake of "Wuthering Heights"....

	SPLICEDwire \| "The King Is Alive" review (2001) Kristian Levring, Romane Bohringer, Bruce Davison, Jennifer Jason ...
		Co-written and directed by Kristian Levring as his contribution to the Dogme95 collective -- a quartet of Dutch filmmakers experimenting with cinematic minimalism -- the film's vérité style of handheld cameras and natural light (per the Dogme rules) makes it pop with tension and raw emotion as the tourists unravel.
		Bruce Davison and Janet McTeer play a couple whose bitter marital discontent boils over and McTeer lashes out in spite by throwing herself at other men in the group.
		A younger husband (Chris Walker) tries to allay the hysteria of his distraught wife (Lia Williams) while his brash, uncouth, sweaty father (David Calder) employs the anxiety and desperation as an excuse to turn aggressively lecherous toward two troubled young women in the group (American Jennifer Jason Leigh and French Romane Bohringer).

		We're a little more formal, a little more reserved, a little more, 'Thank you very much, can I go home now?' I find it quite hard to stand up there and be funny and witty.
		As ''Tumbleweeds''' Southern louse magnet, Mary Jo, unlucky in love except for her relationship with her young daughter, Ava (played by the equally impressive Kimberly J. Brown), McTeer, a Royal Academy of Dramatic Art-trained stage thespian, has fashioned a character who's intensely funny and witty -- not to mention heart-wrenching.
		If McTeer has her way, she won't be making one.

		Anyone who has lived in the South will be amazed at the stunning realism of Janet McTeer’s performance, especially because she is a renowned British stage performer with little American movie exposure.
