Synopsis
Inspired by true events, Loggerheads tells the story of an adoption "triad" -- birth mother, child, and adoptive parents -- each in three interwoven stories in the days leading up to Mother's Day weekend, and each in one of the three distinctive geographical regions of North Carolina: mountains, Piedmont and coastal plain. Starring SMSU alum and Academy Award and Golden Globe Nominee Tess Harper.

Reviews
"Beautifully acted, structurally sophisticated heart-tugger."
- Ken Fox, TV Guide
"It's a gentle look at people who cut themselves off from others and realize consequences too late. If Southern Baptists believed in karma, this would be their touchstone."
- Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer
"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
"Developments unfold according to the needs of the characters. The movie is not about springing surprises on us, but about showing these people in a process of discovery. 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
