Featured review
debra winger in a very different role
A real change of pace for all these actors. Laurie Metcalfe, as a drunk, out of control, jealous woman. Debra Winger is the slightly challenged straight-shooter who never tells a lie. a couple of Gyllenhaals. even Jan Hooks. and Mister Carlin from Bob Newhart When there's a shortage in the drawer at work, Martha (Winger) knows who-dunnit, but she doesn't want to get accused of it herself. so she tells who DID do it. it all goes downhill from there. one of those days where NOTHING goes right. we feel the sadness of it all snowballing, and poor Martha gets the worst of it. Then she meets Mac (Gabriel Byrne), who has come to work on the house... Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal. he's Dad ! the Gyllenhaal we never hear about. he had been married to Naomi Foner, who happens to have written THIS very screenplay. family project. it's pretty good. on netflix, of course.
