Synopsis

"Loggerheads" interweaves three separate but related stories that take place in different parts of North Carolina. On Mother's Day 1999, Mark, a young drifter with an interest in endangered loggerhead turtles, begins a relationship with motel handyman George. On Mother's Day 2000, Mark's adoptive mother Elizabeth wonders what has become of her estranged son. On Mother's Day 2001, Mark's birth mother Grace quits her job to begin a search for the child she gave up years before-a search that ultimately brings the stories together.

Critics' reviews

"Beautifully acted, structurally sophisticated heart-tugger."

Ken Fox: TV Guide
"Kirkman is shrewd enough to coax a wistful performance out of pretty boy Kip Pardue."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"This movie takes its sweet time wrapping together three related tales set in various regions of North Carolina -- to ultimately devastating effect."

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"The performances are not pitched toward melodrama; the actors all find the right notes and rhythms for scenes in which life goes on and everything need not be solved in three lines of dialogue."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Slow, unadorned, compassionate, and earnest, 'Loggerheads' is a low-fi throwback to the independent films of the 1980s and '90s."

Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"Undeniably precious, it may make some viewers fidgety, but others will find that the reflective melancholy that overcomes both director and cast (all superb) is a sweet contagion."

Chuck Wilson: LA Weekly
"If it isn't easy being any of the troubled people wandering through the film, Loggerheads makes it easy not only to believe in them, but to care about them as well."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"If Loggerheads sometimes feels too forced, it features some unforgettable performances, especially by Hunt, an accomplished comedienne who makes an impressive debut as a dramatic lead here."

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
