There are many places I could start the conversation on Ulu Grosbard brilliant Sibling relationship and personal distortion film GEORGIA. I could wax lyrical about it but I wont. Instead I will give you the tour, so to speak and the mention a few pertinent factors about the disc and its extras. This is the story of two sisters. Two very different yet biologically connected souls. One is a very talented singer called Georgia (Mare Winningham). She has the house, the husband, the child and stability. The other is Sadie (Jennifer Jason Leigh). She has none of the above and all of the below. Drink problem. Rebellious and aspires to stardom with an electric guitar. Their lives intersect rarely, for one feels inferior and the other feels trapped in a world of disorder. The two’s relationship has soured but in the end, your sibling is yourself just in a different time frame.

Ulu Grosbard (Straight Time) is the kind of nuanced director that you rarely see. He worked with actors, examined the performance, made notes and constructed feeling. The lightning fast commentary from Bryan Reesman mentions this (and a lot else) but at a pace that leaves him and you, breathless. The points that needed conversations over are little more than cars on a race track. VVVRRRrroooommm. Gone. Max Evry, when he can speak, points out so much interesting things about family dynamics, pyschology and the roles of the two, that I wished he had his own commentary. He is also modulated in his pacing. This very underrated film, deserves this kind of breathe in and out treatment. It was lost in the cinema world due to too much noise. See John Doe interview to understand this. He makes very valid points on awards and acclaim over bums on the seats and the chance to make more intellegent cinema. This is echoed in archive interviews but I cant help thinking that this is amissed opportunity. The outstanding performances from Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mare Winningham, deserved more and got a little bit more than they have had.
