as sarah goldfarb, ellen burstyn reminds us of the epic range she possesses and why she is truly one of our greatest performers. with a body of work like the last picture show, the exorcist, alice doesn't live here anymore, resurrection & the people vs. jean harris, she still manages to surprise as a pill-popping game-show enthusiast who dreams of being a television star. coping with the addiction of her heroin addicted son (jared leto), coupled with her own hallucinations, sarah descends into a dizzying, nightmarish downfall that is heart-wrenching and affecting. burstyn won just about every critics award for best actress in 2001. *nominated for 2001 best actress oscar;
lost to julia roberts in erin brockovich
greatest moment: cut and paste.
