This HBO movie is a hidden gem from 2002, despite earning a pair of best supporting Emmy's for film legends Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara, a nomination for Juliette Lewis, and one very deserved Golden Globe for star Uma Thurman. Beautifully directed by Mira Nair (of "Monsoon Wedding"!), "Hysterical Blindness" is a heartbreaking slice of Debby Miller's life in 1980's New Jersey and her unfortunate fascination with Justin Chambers' Swayze-eyed Rick. She takes more than her fair share of comfort from her loyal to a fault best friend Beth and her mother Virginia, who may be finding love of her own with sweet old Nick Piccolo. Take a drink every time we say "Amber Autumn"--maybe if you're lucky, it'll be poured by hottie bartender Bobby...
