From start to finish, the movie was fantastic. It's written very smoothly, it's funny, down to earth and lots of great drama with an amazing cast. I was really taken back with how much I enjoyed it.
Mermaids is a coming of age film. We follow Charlotte played by Winona Ryder who is a 15 year old girl who wants to be a nun and also can't stop thinking about losing her virginity to a cute boy. On top of that we have her crazy mother who is free and wild, unlike most people in that time era. And the little sister who has no problem with chugging back a bottle of wine or willingly trying to drown herself, to break the world record of how long one can hold your breath. It's a really fun balance and interesting mixture of people. When you throw in the boyfriends and love drama it really spices up the movie. My favourite part of the whole film is the script. The lines are witty and funny and it flows so nicely always keeping your attention.
Easily one of Winona Ryder's best films. Her performance was amazing. She did such a good job with her emotions and keeping the audiences attention. She was intense and seemed genuine. She really shined in this movie. As always Ricci is very serious, but funny. This role must have opened the door for her to get the Addam Family part. As for Cher, she's done better. Her lines were perfect, she looked great but she was missing heart, the emotion wasn't there and you couldn't feel any energy from her.
All in all, it's a solid movie. Funny, cute, great drama, solid cast. And the ending leaves you with a smile on your face.
