In this screen adaptation of Jennifer Weiner`s bestselling novel, Toni Collette (MURIEL`S WEDDING) is Rose Feller, an overweight, overworked, and painfully undersexed lawyer who fills an emotional void with pints of Haagen-Dazs and a closetful of expensive shoes that she never wears. Little sis Maggie (an always radiant Cameron Diaz), who is prone to public drunkenness, one night stands, and wearing lingerie as outerwear, is as lacking in career prospects as her sister is in romantic ones. When her irresponsible behavior gets her kicked out of her father`s house by her spiteful stepmother, Maggie has nowhere to crash but her elder sister`s couch. But, after she ignites a series of disasters ranging from the minor to the catastrophic, Maggie is cast out by her angry older sibling, with no job, no money, and no one to take her in. She finds a stash of hidden letters in her father`s desk drawer that enable to track down her estranged grandmother (the wonderfully centered Shirley MacLaine) in a Florida retirement community, hoping to use her impressive skills of manipulation and false charm to financial benefit. While Maggie begins to adapt to life as a nubile young fish in the waters of shuffleboard and wheelchairs, Rose, up in the wintry north, quits her stifling job and begins her own personal transformation. Both women`s paths to spiritual growth and self-actualization might ring false if handled by less nuanced performers and a flashier director, but here they are subtle enough to be both inspiring and realistic. Director Curtis Hanson has proven to be a flexible artist, jumping from genre to genre with the prowess and confidence of those studio directors of Hollywood`s Golden Age. With IN HER SHOES, the man behind L.A. CONFIDENTIAL and 8 MILE elevates the
chick flick
out of that pigeonhole, crafting a story of surprising depth and universal appeal.

Spanish director Laura Mana`s (SEXO POR COMPASION) second feature is a chilling foray into the horrifically demented territory of the psychological thriller. Psychiatrist Laura (Goya Toledo, AMORRES PERROS) wakes up in a basement bound to a chair, forced to watch the video confession of a man dispassionately detailing his banal daily life and horrific crimes. This is her captor, Ramon (Darmo Grandinetti, TALK TO HER), a former patient and a well-respected college professor who leads a dark double life. He now engages the doctor in a terrible game to be played out over the course of one night: if she wins, her gag will be removed and she will be granted one phone call, but if she loses the consequences will be truly dire. With a nonlinear plot that continually introduces new elements, former actress Mana keeps audiences guessing until the end. The director teams up here with well-known cinematographer Xavi Gimenez, who achieved the look of many of Spain`s top-shelf fare, including THE NAMELESS, THE MACHINEST, and DARKNESS.
