Maggie Gyllenhaal is an actress you simply cannot take your eyes off of.
02/28/08
Just as she did in the dark, sadomasochistic comedy "Secretary," Gyllenhaal raises her share of eyebrows here, though for a whole host of different reasons.
05/01/07
Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the part with raw conviction and she is ably supported by a well-chosen cast.
03/01/07
A bittersweet tale of human failings and redemption which ought to establish Gyllenhaal as one of the best actresses around.
02/06/07
The film itself is a collection of emotional highs and mostly lows for Gyllenhaal, who elevates it all far above the slim story.

It's the movie for you if you liked the pessimistic street view of Half Nelson.

Watching Maggie Gyllenhaal's bare body and battered soul in Laurie Collyer's quietly extraordinary Sherrybaby, you almost get a sense that the actress knows the load that was her star-making turn in Secretary ...

Like Vera Farmiga in DOWN TO THE BONE, Gyllenhaal creates a full-bodied portrait of a woman struggling with addictions. And like Felicity Huffman in TRANSAMERICA, Gyllenhaal elevates a flawed motion picture to a higher level.

Gyllenhaal couldn't be better in service of a film that seems to focus on the wrong character; the more interesting point of view would be Bobby's, a gallant, unglamorous guy who's trying to hold his family together in the midst of Hurricane Sherry.
01/01/07
The writing and directing by Laurie Collyer express an admirable naturalness and eschews rose-tinted solutions.

Gyllenhaal cria uma personagem complexa e real cujos acertos nos fazem torcer por seu sucesso e erros nos levam a lamentar por seu sofrimento. Além disso, Danny Trejo finalmente tem a chance de mostrar sua versatilidade, saindo-se excepcionalmente bem.

If it weren't for the nudity, I would have thought I was watching a Lifetime for Women TV movie.
