CHECK OUT THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW for Fair and Decent by Thomas H. Diggs

"...Marybeth, played by Jennifer Dean, who has a wistful but willful Hope Davis quality (or, if you don't go to indie movies, think of the young Shirley Knight). Unlike her husband, Marybeth, who has a job and is bringing up two small children (one of them developmentally disabled) is a realist. And she doesn't share Reed's religious fervor. When Reed says, 'You know what your problem is? You lack faith,' she answers with perfect simplicity: 'I lack sleep.' "
