Maggie Gyllenhaal gives a revealing performance in SherryBaby (Metrodome, e24.99) as Sherry Swanson, a heroin addict just released from prison who wants to stay clean and win custody of her children.
But life outside prison is not easy and when the complications set in, so do the temptations to cut corners.
Laurie Collyer’s unsettling film forces Sherry to make some painful decisions, and Gyllenhaal provides more than enough glimpses of conviction and courage in what is a very sexy role.
Extras include interviews with Gyllenhaal and co-star Danny Trejo.
