Julianne Moore and Edie Falco, Freedomland

Freedomland may not be a high point in any retrospective of the careers of Julianne Moore or Edie Falco, but, for both actresses, just the making of this long-aborning adaptation of Richard Price's novel is the point. The four-time Oscar-nominated Moore plays a recovering addict, a woman who fakes her child's abduction to cover her own lapses in judgment. Falco is nearly unrecognizable with black hair, no makeup and the demeanor of an avenging angel to Moore's flighty liar.
