		Audio: Hysterical Blindness is presented in DD 5.1, as well as a DD 2.0 stereo mix in English, Spanish, and French.
		Final Thoughts: Hysterical Blindness is a slight tale, by turns wise, compassionate, and unafraid to cast an unblinking eye on frustrated (and, in all fairness, occasionally frustrating) lives.
		Its somewhat meandering narrative is redeemed by the intelligent and considered direction of Nair, and the DVD treatment of Hysterical Blindness is enhanced in no small measure by her commentary (and for that alone the "extras" get a solid three and a half stars).

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| Greetings from Desperation, N.J.
		That scene never comes in director Mira Nair's latest film, "Hysterical Blindness." The protagonists do dance, albeit separately, but when one of them does, she makes such a wrenching display of her insecurity, desperation and vodka-soaked longing that it makes her friend recoil in unexpected self-recognition, horror and protective love-pain.
		"Hysterical Blindness," which was the centerpiece premiere of the 2002 Sundance Film Festival and premieres Sunday night at 9:30 on HBO, is Nair's sixth feature film.
		Based on Laura Cahill's play by the same name, "Hysterical Blindness" is set in 1980s Bayonne, N.J., and centers on the relationships between three working-class women: best friends Debby (Uma Thurman) and Beth (Juliette Lewis), and Debby's mother, Virginia (Gena Rowlands).

		“Hysterical Blindness” is the quest of a neurotic Jersey girl (Uma Thurman) to pick up a guy in a bar.
		However, we learn little more about her in the final scenes than in the first scenes.

	Girl trouble: Desperate pals seek love in bittersweet HBO film
		But in "Hysterical Blindness," HBO's touching, slice-of-heartache portrait of blue-collar female friendship in 1980s New Jersey, the fun eventually evaporates.
		But "Hysterical Blindness," anchored in the splendid performances and rich emotional chemistry of Uma Thurman and Juliette Lewis as man-hungry Jersey gal pals Debby and Beth, casts a memorable, bittersweet spell as it unfolds at 9:30 p.m.
		Based on a play by Laura Cahill, the New Jersey native who also wrote the movie's evocatively downbeat script, "Hysterical Blindness" is blessed with an abundance of talent that is typical of HBO productions.

		Consequently, as a grown-up, she'll do anything for any guy who even looks at her, from cooking filet mignon to servicing him orally, but she treats her long-suffering girlfriend and her mother shabbily.
		Watching her unravel might be tolerable if she experienced a little self-awareness by the end of the film, but that never happens; hence, the title of this movie, "hysterical blindness," a metaphor for her inability to see what's obvious to everyone else from a mile away.
		Gena Rowlands and husband Ben Gazzara are completely implausible as Thurman's mother and aged beau.

		By Uma Thurman stars and exec produced, Mira Nair's 'Hysterical Blindness,' which screened at Sundance.
		Mira Nair's spirited ensemble comedy "Monsoon Wedding" was arguably her most satisfying film since she broke through with "Salaam Bombay!" She follows with her most mishandled effort since "The Perez Family," though the director may be less at fault here than the flimsy script adapted by Laura Cahill from her own play.
		A supposed slice-of-life drama about three working class women looking for love and stability in 1980s New Jersey, "Hysterical Blindness" is a numbingly obvious confection of laughter and tears that's utterly condescending to its one-note characters.
