Reviews
The DVD cover implies a comedy, but this is quite a serious film involving a struggling actress who has a drug problem. There are some light-hearted moments, but there's also some quite heart-rending dialogue between Suzanne (Meryl Streep, who manages to look fifteen years younger than she was at the time), and her alcoholic screen mother Doris (Shirley MacLaine).
There's an over-charming seducer (albeit with nothing explicit), an exaggeratedly awful grandmother, and a delightful doctor, as show more well as lots of people directing, filming and otherwise involved in the making of some low-budget films.
Very well done, an absorbing film, apparently based on a real account from a book. Rated 15 due to the themes, and also some 'strong' language.
