5.0 out of 5 stars That old thing
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2012

This must be my third copy of 'Postcards from the Edge' - first one was a VHS tape (I just wore it out with overuse) then the next one was locally bought here in Australia - but that got pinched by one of my adopted Bhutanese kids and it has since vanished into the extended family. I was informed at every local DVD store it was "no longer available" and so I looked to the internet and eventually found it on Amazon ('eventually' - probably took ten minutes).

I love this film for so many reasons; the insight into Hollywood is one major reason - seeing Meryl Streep in anything is always a great thing. I love Shirley MacLaine when she is playing an American particularly if she is singing as well as acting. Like Shirl, I seriously do not understand why she wasn't given an Academy Award for her role as Doris in this semi-autobiographic film written by Carrie Fisher (at least a nomination).

Three things: (1)It is a greatly made film all around with some very good camera work and editing - and(B)it reminds me in so many ways of Edina and Saffron Monsoon from the BBC TV series 'Absolutely Fabulous' although it's far from that in reality I think the two products are kindred spirits and also the commentary from Carrie Fisher on this Amazon bought copy is truly wonderful. I like Carrie Fisher, she's funny in a laconically sweet way - like a rusty first car you don't want to part with even though it makes odd sounds as you take her out for a drive.

The story is obviously based on someone's real life, and then ramped up somewhat for 'poetic license'. I have always loved anything where Meryl Streep sings - from 'The Deer Hunter' through to 'Ironweed' and here she has two numbers that she delivers with gusto. MacLaine also delivers a wonderful number and manages to even take (what we say here in Australia) the piss out of herself... as much as anything. I think the film was dumped on a little by critics for being "too Hollywood" - but rest assured that those of us who love the movies and haven't lived or visited in Hollywood don't give a 'rat's' about that.

It is entertaining and has a strong message to deliver. With Carrie Fisher adding her reflective insights and opinions in the commentary it's doubly wonderful. One of my favourite (the spelling is different here in Australia) things to do is sit and watch 'Soapdish' (featuring Carrie Fisher) and then 'Postcards from the Edge' - it's a great comedy double for my money (time is money) - so I am very very happy to have found the disc on Amazon and all the more delighted that there's the wonderful Carrie chattering away about a variety of things along for the showing.

It is too much to ask if I have a particular favourite (see above) film - because I love so many films - but I quite often cite this one as my favourite (I've miked that enough) mainly because it makes me laugh and I always enjoy the story of a recovering drug addict and her alcoholic(ish) mother both in the movie industry and both competing for attention in their own special way.

It must be twenty odd years old as a film, but it speaks to me today as clearly as it did when I saw it in the cinema during it's theatrical release - just say "No" to drugs is the message ultimately - but there are plenty of other messages about relationships in there as well - and it is funny!

There are so many actresses that I can't get enough of and 2 of them in one film....lovely!

It's a fun lil watch and honestly I love that about it. There are times I don't want heavy drama/super serious themes and this gives me that lil light-hearted, witty snack.

Always a movie that I want to watch, when I need a quick laugh. Some may find it a shallow take on the subject of substance abuse/dealing with a mother that overshadowed her daughter's fame, but I find that works for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A NOT A GREAT FILM BUT A STAR POWER MADE THIS FILM WORK OUT
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016

I don't even have to say that Meryl Streep is the best actress that is now living in this world.
And also Mike Nichols is one of the few director who really knows how to controll actors well as a Hollywood filmmaker who just passed away in 2014.
But this movie didn't met my taste that well.
As usual, Meryl Streep and her mother(Mother's roll) Shirley MacLaine were all good.
And althouth small rolls only but Gene Hackman, Richard Dreyfuss, Dennis Quaid were all charming to look at.
But something is missing in this film.
Some people are saying that we should know more about the actual charactor of the woman who was played by Meryl Streep (Suzanne Vale is the name) but I don't think that way.
The movie should be understood by the movie itself. If it cannot be appealed to the audience just because they didn't know the background story of the main charactor, then that movie is a failure.

The main charactor has problems with drugs because of her famous actress mother played by Shirley MacLaine who is an alcoholic all her life. She was influenced by her according to her thought and that's why her life was so miserable. Also she is an actress too and just because of her mother's fame, she can always got the luck enough to keep act, she was more miserable. That made her having more drugs.

But then again, it is her life. There is no excuse for that. She is the one who should control her life not her mother.
According to her mother, she sang well from her childhood and as we see, she sure does sings well. Maybe she should have had concentrated as being a singer instead.

The ending was her singing in front of all the people of her mother's friends and she sang beautifully.
She seemed so happy at the end. Maybe she will find a way to live a better way from then on but it was not concrete enough for the audience to what this film is really about.
I can guess why this film was kind of failed at the boxoffice back then. But still it earned almost 40,000,000 $ soley from the US which was not that bad bad.
I think the star power made it possible.

Love this movie. I do enjoy Meryl but I can do without her singing. I'll distract her while you take the microphone and hide it from her, thanks. One of Shirley's best performances here.

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015

This 25th Anniversary DVD release of Postcards had been promoted as having extras. However, none were to be found. It's just the bare bones: opening credits, the main feature, and the closing credits. Can't complain about the price, though, which had been much higher for some time. My mediocre 3-star rating is for the misleading promotion, not the excellent cinematic experience. If you don't know the film, consider checking it out. It holds up extremely well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eine Mutter-Tochter Beziehung im Filmbusiness...
Reviewed in Germany on March 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
...dargestellt mit den Möglichkeiten zweier exzellenter Spitzenschauspielerinnen. Selten wird so deutlich gezeigt, wie sich charakterliche Züge von der elterlichen Generation auf die Kinder übertragen. Schon die Großmutter war obsessiv dominant, besserwisserisch, voller überwiegend negativer Urteile und herrschsüchtig. Wie die Mutter Doris mit ihrer Tochter Susan umspringt, sie permanent mit ihrer Selbstdarstellung überwältigt, nicht zu Wort kommen lässt, sie demütigt und das alles unter dem Vorzeichen: "ich will ja nur Dein Bestes und ich allein weiß, was das Beste für dich ist, weil ich dich so liebe" (diese in den USA fast generell verbreitete perfide Taktik zieht dem Kind den Boden unter den Füßen weg, denn gegen elterliche Liebe, und sei sie auch nur behauptet und geheuchelt, lässt sich nicht ankämpfen oder sich behaupten. Schuldgefühle sind die unausweichliche Folge), ist sie die Kopie ihrer Mutter. Ihr ganzes Leben bestand aus dem Zwang, es ihr recht zu machen, und welches Ausmaß ihre Selbstverleugnung annahm, sieht man an dem Aufwand, den sie mit ihrem Aussehen treibt, um ihr Alter zu verbergen, und an ihrer permanenten "Performance" einer heilen, glamourösen Fassade nach außen. Der Druck, den sie sich damit macht, ist so groß, dass sie deshalb blind und taub wird für die wirklichen Bedürfnisse ihrer Tochter. Großartig, wie die Reaktion der beiden Ehemänner auf die Wirkung ihrer Frauen dargestellt wird. Der Großvater äfft seine Frau verächtlich, giftig und mokant nach und der Vater igelt sich in einem stummen Protest ein, indem er als Person vor dem Fernseher verschwindet. Unter der Last dieser Hypothek bricht Susan fast zusammen und ihr Griff nach den Drogen, einmal mit einer unbewusst eingenommenen tödlichen Dosis, wird nur allzu verständlich. Sie versucht, ihrer Hölle zu entkommen. Verständlich auch, dass sie kein tragfähiges Gefühl für sich und ihre tatsächlichen Möglichkeiten aufbringt und unsicher über ihre eigenen Gefühle anderen Menschen, vor allem den Männern, gegenüber bleibt. Es ist gut, dass einmal gezeigt wird, wie Schauspielerinnen in den Augen der Männer in diesem sozialen Umfeld als Freiwild gelten und sie sich ständig gegen egoistische und machistische Überfälle wehren müssen. Wie in vielen amerikanischen Filmen müssen erst schwere Unfälle oder katastrophale Ereignisse her, damit die Protagonisten aufwachen und zu Einsichten kommen. Und plötzlich kommt die ganze Welt in Ordnung. Eine weitere Illusion, die vor der Wirklichkeit nicht standhält. Die MacLaine ist in ihrer Krankenhausszene am besten, wenn sie ihr Alter und ihr wahres Aussehen erlaubt. Meryl Streep kommt mit ihrer Musiknummer am Finale mit all ihrem Talent heraus und zeigt endlich, was sie wirklich kann. Eine erstaunliche Künstlerin.
