                                |  |  | I Dream of SweeneyBy Jeffrey M. Anderson  Julia Sweeny ("Saturday Night Live," It's Pat) directs the movie version of her one-woman show developed at San Francisco's Magic Theater. Sweeny tells the story of her brother's cancer, followed by her own. It's beautifully directed -- never static or dull. Sweeny's monologue is truthful and funny in a loose conversational way that draws you in. It's a wonderful movie, more life-affirming than it is depressing. Don't miss God Said, 'Ha!'. |
