Sherrybaby
Sherry Swanson is recently released from prison after serving a three-year sentence and she now hopes to settle down with her young daughter Alexis and get a job. Problems arise when Sherry learns that her brother and his wife, who have been raising Alexis, have bonded with the girl and want to continue taking care of her. Being constricted not only by her unemployment and parole, but her being a recovering drug addict, she has many obstacles on her way to motherhood. Sherry also has to fight an emotional trauma she carries from her childhood, threatening to swallow her whole.
Maggie Gyllenhaal (Secretary, Donnie Darko) gives an honest and naked performance as Sherry in this debut feature by Laurie Collyer (director of the critically acclaimed documentary Nuyorican Dream). Sherrybaby premiered at Sundance 2006.
