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.
