Sherrybaby

Writer and director Laurie Collyer made her feature debut with this powerful character study. A woman with a troubled past tries to put her life together after being released from prison but her quest to get her daughter back derails her plans. Collyer delivered a heartbreaking film that shows the uphill battle to integrate back into society while giving insight to the psychological thought process. Maggie Gyllenhaal stars with a terrific performance as the mother who can't escape her past to make a future for her daughter. The supporting cast includes Danny Trejo, Giancarlo Esposito and Brad William Henke. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
