Movie Reviews of Postcards from the Edge
Movie Review: Carrie Fisher's Magnum Opus
Summary: 5 Stars
What a revelation. I never knew what a movie could be until this film. Sweet, sentimental, dramatic, heart-wrenching and fall-down funny all in one movie. Meryl Streep shines and is more accessible than ever before. Shirley MacLaine is luminous as ever. Mary Wickes (Grandma) is hilarious and ended a wonderful career with this and "Sister Act," forever cementing herself as a 20th century fixture. Robin Bartlett (Aretha) is also a delight. A wonderfully written and awesomely acted story. Highest of recommendations for one and all, especially anyone who's interested in the "behind the scenes" aspect of Hollywood.Movie Review: Hollywood glitz, glamor, and worms
Summary: 5 Stars
Great cinematic rendition of Carrie Fisher's semi-autobiographical novel with wonderful performances from Shirley MacLaine as the aging screen queen and Meryl Streep as her star-druggie daughter. The cameos are wonderful...Richard Dreyfuss as the doc who pumps Streep's stomach?! Gene Hackman as Streep's suffering director...the list goes on. The "bad" thing is that we're left with one big unanswered question - when is Meryl Streep going to record a real album? Her voice is incredible! Fun, funny, and all too true - this one's a winner.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.Movie Review: Postcards from the Oscars!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Shirley Maclaine & Meryl Streep were both nominated for Oscars with this movie. Neither won; but they should have! The chemistry Streep & Maclaine have is pure magic and they are so totally synergetic that you believe they are mother & daughter and you end the movie wishing this were a weekly show just about them and their quirky existance in Hollywood. The small parts by Gene Hackman & Dennis Quaid are priceless. If you want laughs, tears, and GREAT acting then spend an evening curled up with Postcards from the Edge!Movie Review: Classic Mother and daughter conflict
Summary: 5 Stars
I think most women can relate to this tale regardless of the profession. For some mothers and daughters there's a constant struggle for approval and independence. A lot of times we are both the cause and the solution to our problems and it's never easy to view your parents as just human beings who screw up every once in a while. Meryl and Shirley are great together and each have created memoriable characters.
