SherryBaby
An ex-junkie, ex-con single mother returns from jail to reclaim her life and young daughter. American indie drama starring Maggie Gyllenhaal
If there had been any justice in the 2006-7 Oscar nominations, Maggie Gyllenhaal would have found herself opposite Half Nelson's Ryan Gosling for their revelatory his 'n' hers performances as floundering drug addicts trying to reconnect themselves to life via a young charge.

If there had been any equity in the 2006-7 Oscar nominations, Maggie Gyllenhaal would force found herself opposite Half Nelson's Ryan Gosling their revelatory his 'n' hers performances as floundering drug addicts maddening to reconnect themselves to life via a litter charge. As it was, Gosling made the cut, Gyllenhaal didn't - an inkling of the powerful uniqueness between SherryBaby the moving picture, and the performance that dominates it. SherryBaby is Maggie Gyllenhaal as Sherry Swanson, a peroxide, immoral-limbed recovering heroin addict scarcely antiquated of a three-year jail judgement. Released into a halfway house, rigidly monitored by her parole cop (Esposito), Sherry craves not so much smack, as reconnection with the infant daughter Lexi (Simpkins) ...
