Movie Reviews of Sherrybaby
Movie Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal is sexy and real
Summary: 5 Stars
Easily Maggie Gyllenhaal's best movie to date. If you saw her in Secretary and were fascinated by the twisted sexuality you should definitely see her in Sherrybaby. She has such a natural style and is so immersed in the role you will not believe she is acting but just being herself.
Please read the other reviews if you want the details of the plot.
The purpose of this review is to tell you that this movie is visually rich and features Maggie Gyllenhaal's perfect legs and thin but shapely body and perfectly natural and very enticing breasts in almost every scene. She wears tight fitting tops with no bra, mini skirts, short-shorts and has many nude scenes. Some of the scenes are gritty and dirty while others are passionate and show her soft side.
I got this movie expecting a few shots of her long legs and was pleasantly surprised to find it was full length tribute to her very natural and uninhibited sexuality. Did I tell you she has a beautiful body?? In one scene she even wears a see through thong and nothing is left to the imagination.
Get this movie if you are a Maggie Gyllenhaal fan. If you haven't seen any of her previous work you will be a fan after seeing this movie.
On a scale of 1 to 5 stars:
3.5 stars for the plot
4.0 stars for the acting
6.0 stars for visual presentation!
Enjoy it I did!
Movie Review: An Extraordinary Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
Maggie Gyllenhaal delivers an Oscar Caliber performance as a drug addicted ex-convict, who is trying to reclaim her daughter and life. She brings this train-wreck of a woman to vivid life, totally disappearing into the character. Many have described this film as sad, bleak, and disturbing. It is all of these things because the story seems so authentic and real, and her performance is so good. She seems like a real person rather than an actress playing a role: everyone has met someone like Sherry. I believe this is a much better film than some of the reviews here would suggest. So many films today are fluffy, forgettable and emotionally unengaging. This one is strong medicine: it grabs you and pulls you in. My wife liked it a lot, but actually had trouble sleeping after watching it. Since when do all movies have to be syrupy, feel-good confections with an unambiguous happy ending? It is refreshing to see one that seems so honest and real. Ms. Gyllenhaal's performance made me empathize with, and ultimately root for a junkie ex-con. I look forward to seeing this fine actress in future films.Movie Review: Gyllenhaal Is A Time Bomb To Watch
Summary: 5 Stars
"Sherry Baby" Is a great movie, with wonderful acting and a good script.
Gyllenhaal as Sherry is a virtual time bomb to watch ,You never know when or if she is going to go off the deep end.
Her intentions are good but she just cant seem to get it together,with scenes of her father groping her breasts while he consoles her and her acting like its an everyday normal occurrence to scenes of her being very sexually promiscuous without a fore or after thought about the consequences' in her mind that's what women do to get a reward or to be loved .
It can be heart breaking at times but sometimes you want to shake her and say NO~!! This is not how it works..
Gyllenhaal is definitely Oscar worthy in this role and was snubbed by the academy as she was in "Secretary "
She's one of the most versatile and believable actresses working in movies today.
It's worth a rent and actually a buy because it's a movie I can watch over and over again.
Movie Review: Maggie shines as Sherry Swanson!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to the screening in LA last night for Sherry Baby. I wasn't going to attend but I am so glad that I did; even gladder still that the invite made it to me in the first place!
Suject matter is very adult but presented so telling and so honest and Maggie redeems her character with perfection. I've seen Maggie act before but never like this. Everyone did such a marvelous job. It's like watching people you know; not like being in a movie theater.
Great job!! Buy this movie as a permanent addition to your collection and watch it with your friends. The discussion it will bring forth after you watch the movie is worth the price of admission & more!!
Movie Review: Sherrybaby Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great indie flick. I've been a fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal's work since I first saw her acting in "Secretary." This is a gritty movie that involves some deep circumstances. Maggie portrays Sherry, who basically is damaged goods after serving a prison bid and the impending attempt to piece her life back together after being released, which is where the movie starts. Any person can enjoy this movie if they have a mature head about them. I think it's a great movie.
