Postcards from the Edge
Movie • 1990 • Comedy
ReportSubstance-addicted Hollywood actress Suzanne Vale is on the skids. After a spell at a detox centre her film company insists as a condition of continuing to employ her that she live with her mother Doris Mann, herself once a star and now a champion drinker. Such a set-up is bad news for Suzanne who has struggled for years to get out of her mother's shadow, and who finds her mother still treats her like a child. Despite these problems - and further ones to do with the men in in her life - Suzanne can begin to see the funny side of her situation, and it also starts to occur to her that not only do daughters have mothers, mothers do too.

The lead is mistreated by her mother and the behavior can be quite triggering... but she is a grown woman and often walks away.

1 hour and 17 minutes in, Meryl Streep’s character pulls over her car and puts her fingers down her throat, forcing herself to v*. No visual but graphic audio.
