Description:
Critics everywhere raved about this motion picture and its outstanding stars, Jennifer Jason Leigh (SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, RUSH) and Academy Award(R)-nominee Mare Winningham. It's the story of two sisters -- one talented, the other passionate -- and the rivalry that binds them together. Sadie (Leigh) is a rebel who aspires to rock stardom while her sister, Georgia (Winningham), is a gifted and already successful musician. Sadie -- unwilling to give up her dreams -- struggles to make a name for herself in the shadow of her talented sister. Acclaimed as one of the year's 10 best films -- you'll find this powerful story of ambition and rock 'n' roll dreams absolutely riveting!

Jennifer Jason Leigh's fearless performance in this film by Ulu Grosbard (True Confessions) is reminiscent of the young De Niro. Leigh plays a talentless junkie with a jealous fixation over the success of her singer-songwriter sister (Mare Winningham). The script by Leigh's mother, Barbara Turner, basically follows her slow descent so deep into a hell of disappointment and smack she almost comes out the other side partially redeemed. Whatever Grosbard may lack as an exciting visualist (he doesn't make many films anymore) is made up in the freedom he affords actors to let it all hang out. With fine performances by Winningham, Ted Levine, John C. Reilly, and John Doe. --Tom Keogh

I have been a great fan of this movie for many years and just recently had the opportunity to purchase it and now I can watch it whenever I want. Both actresses, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mare Winningham, capture the roles of Sadie and Georgia Flood beautifully. I was especially surprised and happy to find out that Mare Winningham is such a wonderful singer/songwriter and musician. The film, about 2 sisters; one who became a successful singer and who did not really care about it and the other sister, ... Read More

This is one of my favorite movies.
Sadie Flood wants fame and, just as important, approval by her older sister, Georgia. Sadie has the need for attention that I sense will never be satisfied. Georgia seemingly has natural talent whereas Sadie has to scrap for crumbs in her own very self-destructive way.
It's almost schaudenfraude watching Sadie in this movie. It's a strange feeling, as this is a fictional character. However, the movie brings all of the characters alive in ... Read More

I did not like this movie at all. It was tedious getting through the entire film. I am a fan of Jennifer Jason Leigh, but the character she was portraying was awful. I kept hoping it would get better, that Leigh's character, Sadie, would redeem herself, but she never did. She seems to have no positive attributes. Sadie is an alcoholic drug addict who uses people and has no talent. A curious thing about the film was that with each performance, the entire song was shown/played. This was fine during ...

Firsly this film is def worth buying. The music is really gritty and haunting. Also have the soundtrack JJL has a great voice. The way Sadie is always on the edge and Geogia is very balanced is very interesting. Plus Jennifer Mum (Barabara Turner) wrote and produced with Jennnifer. It is also about what it was like growing up in Jennifer life. Her sister(Carrie Morrow) was the one with the drug problems. Jennifer was the balanced one.The stage shows also are first class. At the beginning Sadie(JJL) goes ... Read More

Sadie wants to sing. She has heart & guts & warmth & a sense of humor, but due to lack of discipline & maybe even talent, she doesn't cut it. Nevertheless, with the help of alcohol & drugs, Sadie keeps trying. Georgia (Sadie's sister) is a professional singer who has done everything right, developing a niche market & actually making money. Georgia gets a modicum of soul into her music, but that's all there is. Axel, a boxboy & a decent guy, marries sister Sadie for a brief what's ... Read More
