Review of Postcards from the Edge

Lots of stars in this Hollywood snap shot where Meryl Streep struggles with substance abuse and her controlling mother(Shirley MacLaine). MacLaine turns in a touching performance while Streep is at her quirky best. The music is a high note here with Streep doing both torch song and honky-tonk rouser (at show's end). MacLaine touches a nerve, however, with her rendition of "I'm Still Around" at the proverbial Hollywood party.
