Description:
Named Best Feature at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival and starring Golden Globe-winner Calista Flockhart (TV's "Ally McBeal"). Straight from the mean streets of New York, the waif-like Jane Doe (Flockhart) works her way into the life and heart of a cynical young writer. But soon Jane's inner demons begin to haunt their relationship until the stakes are life and death in this moving and surprising story.
Amazon.com:
Calista Flockhart fans may enjoy this tour de force for the popular television actress, who plays a free-spirited young woman struggling with drug addiction. The story is told from the perspective of Horace (Christopher Peditto), a struggling young writer who works as a bartender in a transvestite bar. When they meet, Jane (Flockhart) has the word "urgent" stamped on her chest. They quickly--maybe too quickly--fall into a relationship, cemented when she agrees to model for Horace in a series of morbid tableaux--a bloody body in a bathtub, a dead body sprawled on the sidewalk, a body stabbed to death in bed--which he photographs and then writes tabloid-style blurbs about. Meanwhile, they giggle, frolic in the streets, and play sexual games, such as when Jane dresses in a French maid outfit and does an erotic dance for Horace. But gradually Jane's addiction turns worse and their relationship becomes more and more troubled. Though Horace does all he can to help her kick her habit, things only turn worse. Jane Doe's script rambles and Peditto's performance is monochromatic, but Flockhart throws herself into her role with admirable abandon. The film also features Elina Löwensohn (Nadja, Simple Men, and many other Hal Hartley movies) in a small role. --Bret Fetzer

Although the script of Jane Doe is a bit ordinary, Calista Flockhart's performance can compensate everything. I can find no Ally element in this movie. Calista appears very differently from her role as Ally McBeal. she is not as a professional like Ally, but a drug-addict in the street of New York! She is just like a totally different person. her appearance, language and gesture are something I have never seen before. Calista's performance is just so convincing that it touches and breaks my heart. ... Read More

I mainly got this movie because it has a edge to it. I dint really know what to expect with this movie since I had never seen the previews for it I mainly just got it becasue the cover looked integing and it had Calista Flockhart in it and she is one of my favorites. I thought it would have this corky edge to it because Calista usually dose more corkey roles but this was of corse corkey but it also did have a major mix od drama which I think deffinitly also added something more to this movie. I say ... Read More

Calista is going to be a great actress in the future as she is now.The movie JANE DOE is very imoionally expressed with her views. I think she had worked with her heart in the movie.It gives the message to coming younger generation about ill effects of druggism & ofcourse about love, that how much she loves her boyfriend while those in love will learn the lesson that how much they are loved by their lovers.I hope by watching this movie you could be the fan of calista( because of not, se's sexy but ...

forget ally mcbeal, don't expect calista's character to be anything like her in this movie. Jane Doe is a very moving film that left me in tears and i must say it deserves much more credit than it seems to have received. i actually had the honor of meeting calista a couple months ago but i was too flabbergasted to tell her how much i love this movie! i rented it because i love her in ally mcbeal, but she really blew me away. i never knew she was this talented. that show is a waste of her acting ability ...

I think "Jane Doe" is supposed to be a comedy, but I'll never really know, because it's one of the few movies I did not finish watching. Obviously, Calista Flockhart made this before her "Ally McBeal" success--at least I hope she did! I couldn't stand it.
