Up the Sandbox

New Yorker Margaret Reynolds has a regularly opinionated mother, a work-absorbed husband and three children. No wonder she unravels upon learning she's pregnant again. A complete modern-woman's identity crisis is hatching - with an uncontrollable fantasy life including a romance with Fidel Castro. As Margaret, Barbra Streisand goes Up the Sandbox for a funny look at liberation, independence and motherhood in this film based on the Anne Richardson Roiphe best seller. As adapted by Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Zindel (The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds) and directed by Irvin Kershner (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back), Up the Sandbox is an imaginative take on feminism's roots and the dilemma of trying to have it all.
