Postcards from the Edge (1990)
De aan drugs verslaafde Hollywood-actrice Suzanne Vale zit in een neerwaartse spiraal. Na een periode in een ontwenningskliniek stelt haar film maatschappij een voorwaarde voor voortzetting van haar dienstbetrekking. Ze moet bij haar moeder Doris Mann, zelf ooit een ster en nu een kampioen drinker, gaan wonen. Zo'n set-up is slecht nieuws voor Suzanne die jaren heeft gestreden om uit de schaduw van haar moeder te komen, en wie vindt dat haar moeder haar nog steeds als een kind behandelt . Ondanks deze problemen - en verdere die te maken hebben met de mannen in haar leven - kan Suzanne beginnen om de grappige kant van haar situatie te zien, en daarmee begint ook door te dringen dat niet alleen dochters moeders hebben, maar moeders ook.
