Sherrybaby is a 2006 American drama film written and directed by Laurie Collyer. Screened at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2006, the film received a limited release in the United States on September 8, 2006. Sherry has been in prison for three years and is anxious to get back to her young daughter, Alexis , who has been living with Sherry's brother Bobby and his wife, Lynnette . The story opens with Sherry's arrival to her new home, a halfway house for women on parole. She is a former heroin addict and finds re-entering the world outside of prison more difficult than... anticipated. Sherry admits at an AA meeting that although she has been clean for over two years, just four days out of prison she is strongly tempted to use. Once her home situation is established her greatest priority is to visit her daughter. Though Sherry is tearful and apologetic and Alexis is slightly shy on greeting, both become very happy on their first reuniting. Sherry needs to work, but is unable to have the preschool job she wants because she has not finished rehabilitation while still on parole.
