Fisher's intelligence and humour turn what might have been movie brat indulgence into something much sharper and involving.

...The pairing of [Streep and MacLaine] turns out to have been one of the casting coups of the year....A terrifically genial collaboration...

"Postcards from the Edge" contains too much good writing and too many good performances to be a failure, but its heart is not in the right place.

...[Streep gives] a droll performance - and how savvy to cast Streep and Shirley MacLaine as a back-nibbling mom-and-daughter in the show-biz jungle...

Rating: 3/4 --
Yet further proof that Hollywood makes its best films about what it knows best--making films in Hollywood.

The movie of Postcards has very little Edge left on it.

Product Description:
In this adaptation of Carrie Fisher's semiautobiographical novel, an actress struggles to kick her drug addiction while coming to terms with her domineering mother. Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) has grown up as the spoiled daughter of famous Hollywood star Doris Mann (Shirley MacLaine). Although she has talent, Suzanne can't seem to get out from under her mother's shadow. The two women have grown apart, but they're forced back together again after Suzanne has a near-fatal overdose. Because of Suzanne's drug problem, the insurers of the film she's working on make her stay with someone who can keep an eye on her during production. As a result, Suzanne winds up moving back home with her mother--which might not be ideal, considering Doris's addiction to booze. Director Mike Nichols guides an all-star cast (that also includes Gene Hackman, Richard Dreyfuss, Rob Reiner, and Annette Bening) through this entertaining look at the dark side of showbiz.
