If you ignore accuracy issues, it's a very interesting movie. Faye was great in it. It's a dark portrait of a narcissistic mom
Great lead performance that may haunt your dreams forever
Story of a daughter looking for love from her damaged-abusive-adoptee-mother.
Looks like Dunaway learned the role through moves. A little over-acted. Nevertheless, great movie.
Slow, but a classic. I don’t use wire hangers because of this movie.
Horrifying portrait of a deranged Hollywood Starlet that you can't tear your eyes away from. Not a flattering homage, but a fascinating one!
A deliciously campy and bizarre tale of a Hollywood legend's ill-fated attempt at motherhood.
It's such a captivity of a film to get such a personal sneak peek into Joan Crawford's life, as well as her children. Very tragic story.
Interesting insight on what borderline mother's children go through.
My dads ex used to tell us at least she wasn’t mommie dearest. Watched this and realized she kind of was. Very intense, lots of anxiety.
