| User ReviewMartin MHeartwrenching and charming, characters I legitimately care about, great story, great acting... Underrated and full forced. |
| User ReviewDJ TSamantha Mathis (Pump Up The Volume, American Psycho) does a great job playing a drug addicted stripper and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt shows his early prowess as an actor in this sad, emotional, drama that plays out like a late-night cable TV drama. Director Joe Gayton (writer of the upcoming Faster w Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) doesnt quite delve into the depth of the characters, nor keep things tense. The film is definitely not for everyone. |

| User ReviewClaire BThis movie was not at all what I was expecting and for the most part it was very moving and heartbreaking. About two misfits in an unkind world who find and end up saving each other. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is truly wonderful in this film. The end had be sobbing for 10 minutes straight. |

| User ReviewDaniel PAlso known as Lepers in some countries, Sweet Jane is a fairly ordinary story about drug addiction, prostitution and HIV/AIDS, brought to life by a superb performance by Samantha Mathis (Pump Up The Volume, American Psycho) and equally capable support by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Plainly directed and with a dowdy color scheme, the film succeeds in its first hour at showing a descent into a kind of hell on earth, before turning into a mawkish and sentimental movie-of-the-week in the final 25 minutes. The ending is also a little overplayed, though does allow for some nice symmetry and some beautiful photography. |
| User ReviewJonathan BDecent enough movie about how HIV affects two people. Gordon-Levitt shined even at such a young age. |
| User ReviewMandy THORRIBLE. Don't bother watcing. I know many straight-edge folk who could play a better junkie than Ms. Jane. |
