Georgia is a 1995 American drama film directed by Ulu Grosbard. It follows a barroom punk singer who has a complicated relationship with her older sister.

Production

The film was a highly personal project for Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mare Winningham. Leigh's mother, Barbara Turner, wrote the screenplay; Leigh and Turner co-produced it along with director Ulu Grosbard; and Winningham, a longtime friend who had been Leigh's camp counselor during their teen years, co-starred.

The music in the film consists of 13 songs; to create a realistic effect, Leigh and Winningham were both filmed singing live. The 13 songs included covers of songs by Gladys Knight & the Pips, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison. In the talked-about centerpiece of the film, Sadie drunkenly performs a raw, grueling cover of Morrison's "Take Me Back" in a ragged Janis Joplin-style gut howl at an AIDS benefit concert.

John Doe of the band X plays a supporting role and performed as a member of Sadie's band.
