Amazon.co.uk Review
Giving the wonderful Maggie Gyllenhaal an all-too-rare leading performance, ISherrybaby/I is a moving, well told story of a recovering addict who, ultimately, is looking to be reunited with her daughter. P Sound a little bit TV movie of the week? Then you're not counting upon the considerable force of the film's leading lady. Here, Gyllenhaal gives a career-best performance as Sherry Swanson, dragging the film single-handedly into a feature of real note. It's an award-worthy turn, and one that casting directors would be well advised to take note of. P The rest of ISherrybaby/I, inevitably, can't live up to Gyllenhaal's standards, but it has quite a go. Writer-director Laurie Collyer makes a sound feature film debut (basing it loosely around the experiences of one of her friends), delivering an emotional flick with genuine depth and feeling to it. Layering in the various obstacles that sit in Sherry's way, her script gives her lead actress plenty to get her teeth into, and the movie gels well as a result. P Running to just over an hour and a half, ISherrybaby/I is wise too not to outstay its welcome. Because as it stands, when the end credits role, you'll have been treated to one of the best performances by a Hollywood actress in leading times, and a tight, memorable drama too. --IJon Foster/I

Maggie Gyllenhaal..... Brilliant! May 17, 2009
oooo Candy Davis
Maggie Gyllenhaal gives one of the most intense performances I have ever seen. She is absolutely breathtaking in her fearless portrayal of Sherry Swanson, ex-con, drug addict, and single mother. I honestly feel that she is the greatest actress of her generation after seeing her in Sherrybaby, Secretary and Donnie Darko. br / br /The film remains totally realistic throughout and the gloom that pervades never brightens. As in real life, Sherry Swanson's path is difficult and messy, and the ending is left open to your own interpretation. Excellent directing and camerawork - a thoroughly enjoyable experience. br / br /The DVD. There are options for 2.0 Stereo, or 5.1 Surround. Subtitles in English are available for the Hard of Hearing. The extras: br / br /* Interview with Maggie Gyllenhaal br /* Inverview with Danny Trejo br /* QA with director Laurie Collyer (Text) br /* Theatrical Trailer
