Georgia (1995)

Product 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
