There's a very touching scene near the end of the movie where Mary Jo is helping Ava get ready for her first date. When Ava leaves, she is alone and stares into the mirror with tears in her eyes. Tumbleweeds is presented on DVD in a very strong anamorphic picture. A tidy, dust and scratch-free print was used and there is no compression artifacting or any other errors that sometimes occur when transferring celluloid to a digital medium. The color palette of the movie remains intact with a strong, vibrant color field.
Blacks are appropriately dark without being overly harsh or blotchy.
This is a single-sided disc, and you can choose widescreen or full frame at the main menu. The Dolby Digital 2.0 surround mix is well balanced and appropriate for a movie more geared toward dialogue than effects. New Line included a small, informative set of features on this disc. First, we get the original theatrical trailer with New Line's standard anamorphic enhancement. There's also a commentary by Gavin O'Connor.
