Last night I saw 'Postcards From The Edge' with Shirley MaClaine and Meryl Streep (who many of you know is one of my favourite actresses). About a mother and daughter relationship, MacLaine is a has been movie star trying to kickstart her career through her pushed over the edge, druggie actress daughter. MacLaine fails to see she has a drinking problem yet is more than happy to tell everyone at a party how this year has been the toughest yet thanks to her daughter. I love a film with one liners and this film does not disappoint in that area, Streep and MacLaine bounce off each other so well. I could watch it over and over again. Such a funny film with real comedic value, based on the true story of Carrie Fisher and her mother.
Streep is one of the best actresses of our time and even her earlier films (this was made 20 years ago) show how passionate she truly is, a must-see for a girly afternoon, to watch it with you mother/daughter maybe you could all learn something about relationships...
