Postcards from the Edge Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
For the first time in years, [Streep] lives a role instead of ''acting'' it - and in doing so, she becomes more of an actress than ever.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
''Postcards From the Edge'' is a vehicle, but it's a custom-built Rolls.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Postcards from the Edge" contains too much good writing and too many good performances to be a failure, but its heart is not in the right place.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Weak script but brilliant performances and moments of heart-twisting poignance and insight.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Boo Allen
Meryl lets her hair down and it looks good in this Hollywood tell-all.
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
One of Streep's most likeable performances
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
There's not much depth here, but Nichols does a fine job with the surface effects, and the wisecracks keep coming.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
In this era of postverbal cinema, Postcards proves that movie dialogue can still carry the sting, heft and meaning of the finest old romantic comedy.
Variety
Variety Staff
Packs a fair amount of emotional wallop in its dark-hued comic take on a chemically dependent Hollywood mother and daughter.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For all the jagged, witty chatter -- and Streep and MacLaine do their tragicomic damnedest with it -- "Postcard" provides the most rudimentary and jury-rigged of outcomes.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Streep gives the most fully articulated comic performance of her career, the one she's always hinted at and made us hope for.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Generally entertaining, but finally not all that effective.
Film Threat
Brad Laidman
The older generation had it made. Drinking is legal.
TV Guide
Yet further proof that Hollywood makes its best films about what it knows best--making films in Hollywood.
