    Chicago Tribune | Michael Wilmington

    Georgia, written with rare honesty and economy by Leigh's mother, Barbara Turner, and very sensitively directed by Ulu Grosbard, is a tough-minded look at show business and families. [10 Jan 1996] Read full review

    Christian Science Monitor | David Sterritt

    Directed by Ulu Grosbard, who has never done a better job of filling the screen with superb acting, and shows great ingenuity at interweaving music with other aspects of the story. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    It's still a good [movie], with its self-contained world of concert arenas and smoky clubs and sad, weird people who linger in the mind. Read full review

    USA Today | Susan Wloszczyna

    a painful though sadly humorous portrait of sisterhood deftly written by Leigh's mom, Barbara Turner, and directed with just-right spareness by Ulu Grosbard. [08 Dec 1995] Read full review
