My Name Is Sarah (2007)

In the isolating world of Sarah Winston, solitude is her closest companion. As a meticulous book editor, she dwells in the realm of grammar, punctuation, and spelling, forgoing the stories of the manuscripts she edits. Her life, marked by obsessive control and pedantry, estranges her from others, an alienation amplified by the painful loss of her only friend, Amy. The echoing emptiness of her unused answering machine mirrors her yearning for connection, albeit on her terms. From the window of her solitary home, Sarah spotlights Charlie Manning, a man whose regular presence outside the community center adjacent to her house ignites her curiosity. Compelled to meet him, she steps into the world beyond her window, unknowingly entering the raw, vulnerable sphere of an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting. However, her intention of a quick exit is thwarted by the warm embrace of the AA members, who mistake her for a fellow alcoholic. Among them is the very man that sparked her curiosity, Charlie, and his persuasive teen son, Kit. As the friendship between Sarah and Charlie blossoms into a complicated romance, Sarah's initial deception threads itself into their relationship's fabric. Her continual attendance at the AA meetings and the mistaken belief of her alcoholism create an intricate web around her, threatening to unravel at any moment. Yet, as Sarah softens under Charlie's influence and the camaraderie of the AA members, she is confronted with the reality of her deception and the looming truth that she must reveal. "My Name is Sarah" is a poignant exploration of loneliness, connection, and the complexities of deception. It delves into the labyrinth of deep-seated wounds and hidden truths, asking the question: Will Sarah garner the courage to say, "My name is Sarah, and I'm not an alcoholic," risking the potential loss of her newfound companionship and love?
