APR 12 · FILMS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE
Postcards from the Edge
A film by Mike Nichols
w/ Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, Dennis Quaid
Rated R
1hr 41min
After a drug overdose, actress Suzanne Vale is forced to live with her overbearing, former movie-star mother, Doris Mann, to remain under supervision while she resumes her career. The film explores the prickly, competitive, yet deeply loving relationship between the two women as Suzanne tries to stay sober and navigate the shallow waters of the film industry. Based on Carrie Fisher’s semi-autobiographical novel, it is a witty look at Hollywood and family dynamics.
Fisher has now transformed her novel into a smashingly entertaining movie. Postcards From the Edge is a hilarious, surprisingly poignant comedy about learning to accept one's parents.
