Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
With The Sleepy Time Gal, nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2001's Sundance Film Festival, Christopher Munch gave Jacqueline Bisset the same gift François Ozon gave Charlotte Rampling with Under the Sand--the role of a lifetime. The film is set in the 1980s, with Bisset playing Frances, writer, former DJ ("The Sleepy Time Gal"), and mother of two sons (In the Bedroom's Nick Stahl is Morgan). She's also mother to Rebecca (Martha Plimpton), who was given up for adoption--the result of an affair with Bob (Seymour Cassel) in the 1950s. When Frances is diagnosed with cancer, she decides to tie up loose ends and visits him for the first time in 30 years. Rebecca has also reached an impasse in life and decides to make a change--by seeking out her birth mother. The Sleepy Time Gal is about connections--and how the attempt to establish them can sometimes be enough. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description
Amy's O: Startlingly candid and hilarious, Amy's O is a romantic comedy about love, neuroses, and "the big O." Writer/director/star Julie Davis follows in the female footsteps of Woody Allen with a wry look at sex and the single girl - with a twist of sweetness and warmth. Scotland, PA: Burgers, fries… and a side of mayhem. Welcome to McBeth's, where fast food and ambition make up a daily special filled with murder and mystery, 70's style. The Sleepy Time Gal: As a mother looks to her past to gain the strength to face her future, a daughter investigates the emotional wounds which have kept her from finding love.|
