Mermaids (1990)
Ryder levert een fantastische prestatie als Charlotte, een puber die verscheurt wordt tussen haar ontluikende passie voor de knappe congiërge ( Michael Schoeffling).. En haar wens om non te worden. Haar problemen als puber worden aanzienlijk bemoeilijkt door haar kleine zusje ( Christina Ricci) die zwemster wil worden en door hun moeder (Cher) , een onconventionele, sexy en opvallende vrouw die haar familie steeds verhuist als zij een schandaal veroorzaakt! Door hun verschillen merken deze 3 vrouwen dat niets ook geen levens bedreigende drama hun familiebanen kan verbreken. Mermaid is een hartverwarmende film en een 'betoverende mengeling van komedie en nostalgie ' ( The Wall Street Journal) die smaakt naar meer.
