Movie Reviews of Postcards from the Edge
Movie Review: Mother love
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie in the theater and just had to finally own it. It truly is a feel good movie. And Shirley MacLaine with Meryl Streep is a win win situation. As in other MacLaine movies she is sassy as ever just as in real life and that is one reason I love her movies. And Meryl Streep is so versatile, and still going strong, the both of them. Proof you can get acting jobs as a woman after 40, you just have to be timeless and those 2 are up with there with the best timeless actresses. Glad for their continued successes.
Summary of Postcards from the Edge
Substance-addicted hollywood actress suzanne vale is on the skids. After a spell at a detox centre her film company insists as a condition of continuing to employ her that she live with her mother doris mann herself once a star and now a champion drinker. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/20/2005 Starring: Meryl Streep Dennis Quaid Run time: 101 minutes Rating: R Director: Mike NicholsAs its title might suggest, this movie based on Carrie Fisher's Hollywood struggle works better as a snapshot than as a complete film. Meryl Streep plays Suzanne Vale, a successful actress who is lost in her addictions. Her episodes are never as bombastic as Clean and Sober or other antidrug movies of the 1990s, however. Vale's a more lovable person, and as with all lovable people in Hollywood, other Hollywood people care for her: an understanding director (Gene Hackman), a philandering boyfriend (Dennis Quaid), and a bemused doctor (Richard Dreyfuss). But if you are going to talk about Fisher, you are going to mention her mom, Debbie Reynolds. And here Vale's mom is the die-hard Doris Mann, played with appropriate virtuosity by Shirley MacLaine. The love-hate mother-daughter relationship takes over the film in an entertaining way, with Fisher's sharp comic writing coming into play. You nearly forgive Vale's troubles for having to live under a hurricane like Mann (who goes into her nightclub act at the drop of a hat). The film's sweetest pleasure is seeing Streep loose and modern, nary a drab outfit or an accent in sight. Streep and director Mike Nichols make a risky--and rewarding--finale (fueled by the Oscar-nominated "I'm Checking Out" by Shel Silverstein) work effortlessly. --Doug Thomas
