Real life is hard to watch especially if you are looking for a non violent, non sex and sweet talk. The actress played her part well with what real life is, if you happen to get out of jail and expect to better yourself. It just doesn't work out that way as the actress portrays the woman Cheri. I thought it was good, but I like art and what the lead actress did, was her part very well...it's art to do that. Don't expect a happy good feeling movie with this movie. It's about real life.

Not the best story ever, but very engaging, with believable characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal was outstanding and carried the picture as the title character. It was an enjoyable opportunity to pass the time

It is hard to be a man and not be a fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal! She plays different characters and is always sexy as can be! This movie does show a lot of the after effects of getting sober and how the decision making doesnt change right after getting sober! I liked the movie a lot and loved some of her sexy scenes!!!! Not trying to sound like a pic, but she brings sexy to another level between this movie and Secretary!
I bought this DVD because of my knowledge that it dealt with issues--especially experienced by women--about re-integration into family and community after a substance-abuse related incarceration. Some of the many related issues are vividly portrayed, in a direct and poignant manner. Her (unfortunate) treatment by parole officer(s), and even her family-of-origin are genuine, in my experience as a therapist for issues such as these. I recommend it to anyone interested in the real-life issues women face as they try to obtain a job and re-connect to their children. David Banas
Excellent movie
