Dear Maggie Gylenhall,
your film reminded me of Straight Time (1978). Your performance is comparable to Dustin Hoffman's. You really nailed the ugly, hungry and addictive personality of Sherry Swanson. As a heavy drinker, I could identify with her impulsive nature.
Obviously a lot of the problems faced by the female convict out of jail were oft repeated ones (in other movies). But I guess this is how it is in real life.
The songs used were typical country tinged sentimental crap.
I do not have much to say about the direction. I guess the director did a fair job. It is not like she tried anything new in terms of structure or cinematography.
I am surprised Danny Trejo was not cast in more dramatic roles after this film. He was damn good.
Best Regards, Pimpin.
