Sherrybaby


I just saw this terrific independent movie on DVD. Maggie Gyllenhaal gives an amazing performance as an ex-junkie coming out of jail and trying desperately to reconnect with her 6 year old daughter. This is heartbreaking stuff and there are a couple of scenes that stay with you and that explain so much without being obvious about it. This is also one of the few movies that show how hard it must be for someone to try get rid of a drug dependent life. Check it out.
