Lori Petty, a Venice local,\u00a0 has conquered the silver screen with her indelible performances like Kit Keller in \u201cA League of Their Own\u201d or Tank Girl in, well, \u201cTank Girl.\u201d\u00a0 She dazzled on the small screen as well producing and starring in the tv hit \u201cLush Life\u201d on Fox and made her mark on Broadway back in the 90’s.<\/p>\n

An accomplished painter, in March 2008 she had a solo exhibit of her work at the Deborah Page Gallery in Santa Monica in follow-up to her earlier one-woman show at 72 Market Street in Venice and has been a regularly featured artist on the Venice Art Walk. So, it seems only natural that sooner or later directing would be her next step.\u00a0 In 2008, Petty also wowed audiences at Los Angeles Film Festival\u00a0 with not only her skills as a writer and director, but with her heartfelt honesty and emotion, telling one small chapter from her own life story, with THE POKER HOUSE.<\/p>\n

Agnes, Cammie and Bee are an incredible group of siblings.\u00a0 Each strongly independent individuals, together they form a cohesive loving unit under some extraordinarily difficult circumstances.\u00a0 Their mother is a prostitute with pimp in tow and works out of their house, The Poker House.\u00a0 One of her co-workers lives and works out of an apartment over the garage out back.\u00a0 And mom\u2019s pimp serves as a surrogate father replacing the girls\u2019 holy roller, Bible thumping, child beating father who hasn\u2019t been seen in years.<\/p>\n

From the opening frame, we see Agnes, strong, confident and caring but also wanting to be more grown-up than her 14 years.\u00a0\u00a0 She takes charge of a situation, and matter-of-factly gets her kid sisters out of bed in the morning, makes breakfast (albeit macaroni and cheese made with, as her younger sister Bee puts it, \u201corange water\u201d from crushed Nacho Doritos), helps Bee prepare for a paper route, collects money from her mom\u2019s pimp, earns money doing laundry from their renter, works a part-time job and still manages to sit down and do advanced algebra.\u00a0 She also tries to deal with their mother Sarah who is strung out on drugs and alcohol and worries more about getting Agnes \u201cinto the business\u201d than seeing her get a formal education.\u00a0\u00a0 Bee has an infectious exuberant pragmatacism that seems to shelter her own insecurities about her life.\u00a0 To help make ends meet, she has an early morning paper route and as she empties her newspaper bag with papers, refills it along her route with empty bottles that she turns in for cash at the local corner store.\u00a0\u00a0 Cammie is a pure delight.\u00a0 An impish bundle of energy who spends as much time as she can with the neighbors and their kids, seeking out a normal family life, as is more than telling with her bond with Clyde, whom she wishes was her father.\u00a0 But despite the outward normalcy of the daily routine organized by Agnes and the joy in each of these girls, their lives are anything but normal.\u00a0\u00a0 What 14 year old has to assume the household responsibilities?\u00a0 What children live in \u201ca poker house\u201d?\u00a0 What children grow up with pimps, prostitutes and the homeless as their friends and confidantes?\u00a0 And what children grow up under these conditions and then survive and thrive as adults, but still recall their youth with a very apparent glowing affection?\u00a0 Agnes, Bee and Cammie, that\u2019s who.<\/p>\n

\"poker_house_1\"<\/p>\n

The character of Agnes is based on Lori Petty and Jennifer Lawrence tackles the role with as much human force and energy as Petty lives her own life.\u00a0 As Agnes, she is engaging, inviting, strong and loving but at her core, there is still a childlike essence that Lawrence beautifully conveys on screen.\u00a0 She commands every scene, even when silent.\u00a0 Off screen, Lawrence\u2019s vibrancy, free-spirited honesty and love of life is more than evident, making it easy to see how Petty came to cast her as Agnes.\u00a0 Interestingly, as she self-describes it, Lawrence \u201csucks at basketball\u201d, but despite this, Petty, who played ball in school, managed to show her a few moves.\u00a0 But in a scene involving the \u201cbig game\u201d, while it may be Lawrence huffing and puffing and sprinting up and down the court, a double was used for the actual shooting of baskets and mechanics of the sport.<\/p>\n

\"poker_house_2\"<\/p>\n

Sophia Bairley is a delight as Bee.\u00a0 There is a radiance about her that lights up the screen.\u00a0 Her confident delivery speaks volumes about her character and about her talent. And then there\u2019s Chloe Moretz.\u00a0\u00a0 A total and complete joy, she steals your heart from her opening scene.\u00a0 The girls\u2019 chemistry is undeniable and within the first few seconds of each of them appearing in a scene together, you truly believe they are sisters.\u00a0 Given the depth of their talents here, I know it won\u2019t be long before I am writing about each of them again.\u00a0 In fact, look for Moretz in the upcoming \u201c500 Day of Summer\u201d where she is just as unforgettable and adorable as in THE POKER HOUSE.<\/p>\n

\"poker_house_3\"<\/p>\n

But the real talent here is Selma Blair as Sarah.\u00a0 Unlike anything we have seen from Blair before, she is mesmerizing as Sarah.\u00a0 Disheveled and drunk, at first blush, she is unrecognizable.\u00a0\u00a0 According to Blair, \u201cI liked that make-up.\u00a0 It\u2019s makes my job so much easier to play someone like those scenes looking in the mirror.\u00a0 I can\u2019t even see myself so it helps to not look like yourself when you\u2019re playing a character that won\u2019t look at themselves.\u00a0 So [the make-up] made it blissfully easy. I like whenever you can have the help of something that can be a little bit bigger than the average character.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Blair worked very closely with Petty throughout the process.\u00a0 \u201cI felt right on with it from the start.\u00a0 She would tell me if there was something she wanted more.\u201d\u00a0 Importantly, Blair did not meet Petty\u2019s mother, on whom Sarah is based, prior to shooting.\u00a0 \u201cI think it might have [altered my performance]\u00a0 because she\u2019s a very different woman now.\u00a0 She\u2019s a successful business woman.\u00a0 She supports Lori in every way.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to smarten her up.\u00a0 I\u2019m afraid if I would have seen her in that way, I would have added elements.\u00a0 No, [my character] is a woman that\u2019s broken and messed up right now.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just show it.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have to be sugar-coated. She is THE worst mom.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Selma Blair is true talent.\u00a0 This performance\u00a0 is her Oscar gold.<\/p>\n

\"poker_house_4\"<\/p>\n

Written by Petty along with longtime friend, David Alan Grier, THE POKER HOUSE is based on Petty\u2019s own true life stories.\u00a0 As she puts it, \u201cThe stories are 100% true.\u00a0 The names are changed to protect the guilty.\u201d\u00a0 The characters are full-bodied and richly toned with intricate nuances that provide a rough-hewed loving finish to each portrait.\u00a0 The strength with which each is written can only come from personal experience.\u00a0 But what I find most refreshing is that where Petty could have taken a very maudlin, negative tone with the script given some of the dramatic elements (which I will not reveal), she doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 There is a lightness and hope that permeates the story and each of the girls.\u00a0 One of the key scenes giving the film such light is one involving the three girls singing their hearts out to Marvin Gaye while cruising through town to Howard Johnson\u2019s for dinner (despite Lawrence admitting to \u201cbeing the world\u2019s worst singer).\u00a0\u00a0 A paycheck, a basketball win and surviving yet another day……in a small town in Indiana there\u2019s no better way to celebrate.\u00a0 That one scene with bring a tear to your eye and put a smile on your heart.<\/p>\n

\"poker_house_5\"<\/p>\n

According to Blair, \u201canyone that is going to pour their heart out in such a poetic and honest way without fear and without apology and without judgment\u201d warrants attention.\u00a0 It\u2019s why she jumped at the role of Sarah.<\/p>\n

As a director, Petty is methodical and precise.\u00a0 Her camera angles are varied and interesting.\u00a0 Her voice is strong in each scene and not just from a story perspective, but from her visual perspective.\u00a0 I continually sense that Petty was reliving these moments but in a voyeuristic fashion as she blocked and shot each scene. Tirsa Hackshaw\u2019s editing only adds to the tapestry of Petty\u2019s story while Director of Photography Ken Seng uses light, shadow and denaturation to its best effect.<\/p>\n

Given the darker tone of the material presented, one might think the shooting set had a somber tone.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 While an efficient shoot, there was still time for humor and comaraderie amongst the cast, including Lawrence\u2019s constant references to Petty as \u201cthe AFLAC duck\u201d given Petty\u2019s way of calling for \u201cAction\u201d, not to mention the all in pick-up basketball games that seemed to take place whenever there were men and balls, er, basketballs, on set, which of course resulted in the boys on the crew trying to one up Petty, a fine athlete who actually had a basketball scholarship.<\/p>\n

Given the personal nature of THE POKER HOUSE and the experience of playing Petty in her story, this , I asked Jennifer Lawrence what she believed was the most valuable thing she has learned from Petty.\u00a0 Giving the question some thought, the first thing that came to her mind was a quote from Petty – \u201cThings can happen to you but they don\u2019t have to happen to your soul.\u00a0 Petty is never going to lose a minute of sleep at night because everyone knows how she feels about everything.<\/p>\n

When Petty and I talked last year about the film, she was nervous and filled with trepidation about the film\u2019s debut and whether it would find an audience or distribution.\u00a0 Now that the film is hitting the big screen in Los Angeles this week, I had to ask Petty how it feels to finally have that deal in place with the film opening to the public this week and then making its way onto DVD. \u201c Well, I got one [distribution], but I always want more.\u00a0 I\u2019m opening in one theater [in Santa Monica] and I want more.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I have no doubt that her next film will see the \u201cmore\u201d that she seeks.<\/p>\n

For Petty, she would like the audience to \u201cfeel the empathy and compassion that everyone has for each other in this film.\u00a0 And to forgive people that are really doing the best that they can.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know what some\u2019s going through.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know where they\u2019ve been.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know what happens when they go home.\u00a0 Treat everybody the way you would like to be treated and be thankful just to be alive.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid and don\u2019t let the past affect your present.\u201d\u00a0 Lori Petty, we are all thankful for you and for THE POKER HOUSE.<\/p>\n
