Georgia (1995)

Georgia: Directed by Ulu Grosbard. With Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mare Winningham, Ted Levine, Max Perlich. Sadie is desperately looking up to her older sister Georgia who is a famous Cu0026W artist. Her desperate need to be accepted by her sister is constantly complicated by her drug and alcohol problems.

“Jennifer Jason Leigh is an incredible actress, climbing into a character and making you feel what the character feels. She accomplishes that to an intense degree as Sadie Flood in u0026quot;Georgia.u0026quot; The problem is that I didnu0026#39;t really want to feel what Sadie felt. She scared and disgusted me. Mare Winningham (who knew she had such a clear, sweet singing voice?!?) matches Leighu0026#39;s believable portrayal, but had a more sympathetic character with which to work. The stand-out, though, is Max Perlich as Sadieu0026#39;s worshipful husband/doormat. My heart broke for him. While the acting was strong, I found this film exhausting and kept checking to see how much time was left – it felt more like an assignment than entertainment.”
