Sherrybaby

No one makes it alone

Maggie Gyllenhaal turns in a star performance as Sherry Swanson, returning home to New Jersey after serving a three year prison sentence. Eager to re-establish a relationship with her young daughter, Sherry soon discovers that coming back to the world she left behind is far more difficult than she had planned-lodging in a half-way house, applying for jobs and keeping off the stuff that got her into gaol in the first place.

Critic Reviews:

• " As an actress, Ms. Gyllenhaal seems to steer clear of any parts that seek to exploit an audience's weakness for conventionally happy endings. Her films are therefore always worth seeing. " – Andrew Sarris

• " Gyllenhaal shines in gritty, haunting drug drama. " – Heather Boerner

• " “Sherrybaby” is an insightful and penetrating drama that never condescends or sentimentalizes its subject. Maggie Gyllenhaal gives a tour de force performance that is not to be missed. " – Cole Smithey
