This thread is to appreciate not only the relationship they have as brother and sister, but also to appreciate Maggie herself as an independent actress!! From Mona Lisa Smile to Secretary to Shiri Baby, Maggie is obviously a very versitile actress that has a lot to offer!!! Please post any comments about current projects or likes and dislikes about her recent and/or future movies!

I just saw Secretary, I can understand why it was popular. she did a great job, but I have to say for me it was a little disturbing! I haven't decided if I really liked it or not!:lol:

Jus tsaw Sherry Baby! What an amazing movie, she does a great job as always!

And what Maggie has to say about the documentary:

I am truly honored to present their work as the new host of ‘Independent Lens,'” said Gyllenhaal."

'An Education' very good. Definately would recommend it, especially to see Peter Sarsgaard play David. He is so sly and charming and the same time. Very interesting movie and great cast. Has anyone else seen it yet?

Gyllenhaal talks about her new movie: 'Crazy heart'

Source: blogs.wsj.com by Elva Ramirez

" “I think it’s my favorite film I’ve made,” Gyllenhaal said of “Crazy Heart,” a character portrait that stars Jeff Bridges as washed-up country singer Bad Blake. After early Oscar buzz, the film is being rushed into theaters in December to qualify for awards season.

“It is a little movie that is really about things, that’s complicated,” Gyllenhaal said. “They don’t make them like that any more.”

Gyllenhaal plays a journalist and single-mom who falls for Bridges’ character, and said it was the first movie since she completely threw herself into since the birth of her daughter. “Working with Jeff Bridges — It was how it’s supposed to be,” she said. “It was five-page-long complicated deep scenes that we were allowed to play in a hundred different ways. It was like a movie from the ’70s.” "

Can't wait to see it! I love all her movies!

Maggie Gyllenhaal on David Letterman tonight on CBS ~ Check local listings for details.

Saw 'Crazy Heart' during the holiday break and it was wonderful! Definately a movie you go see for the acting because the story is sad and at times hard to stomach. However there are some redemptive turns in the movie. Jeff Bridges is of course amazing and I was turly impressed with Collin Ferrell. I did not recognize him at all. Of c ourse I'm biased in saying that Maggie was my favorite! She always is! HOpe EVERYONE goes to see it! Both Jeff Bridges and Collin Ferrell sing in it and do a nice job. The songs in the movie are amazingly well written.

Maggie talks about developing and distributing independent movies:

" Mmm. I mean, I’ve done independent movies where I was like a constant part of getting it to distribution, you know, like ‘Sherrybaby,’ I had to go and get dressed up and have dinner with all the distributors, and get the money to begin with. And then go to the festivals, and wine and dine everybody, and chat everybody up, and do my job.

In this case, it wasn’t on my shoulders in that way. But still, of course, I loved the movie so much I followed everything that happened with it. In a way, it’s like a perfect picture of the financial climate of the movie industry. "

Both Maggie and Jeff nominated for Oscars for their performances in Crazy Heart! Excited for both of them, but especially for Maggie!

Alas, neither Maggie nor Peter Sarsgaard's An Education win anything at the Academy Awards. I haven't seen precious so I can't judge the performance against Maggie, but Maggie was wonderful. I'm glad that Jeff Bridges got it, well deserved after all these years. I was keeping my fingers crossed for An Education because it was a very important story for young females and a very underrated movie. Glad Hurt Locker won though. Lets root for Maggie next year!
