Nominated for a Golden Globe, Maggie Gyllenhaal is sublime in this "trying to get my life back" tale of a young woman just out prison. The main struggle is, of course, with herself and her craving for normality and stability walks a rocky road. It reminded me of a female Half Nelson. Worth a look in if you're in the mood for a character driven drama. (Surely an Oscar nomination for Gyllenhaal can't be far away.....).
3.5 stars
