   Is 'Mommie Dearest' a good movie?

   • "Mommie Dearest" is a painful experience that drones on endlessly, as Joan Crawford's relationship with her daughter, Christina, disintegrates from cruelty through jealousy into pathos. It is unremittingly depressing, not to any purpose of drama or entertainment, but just to depress. It left me feeling creepy.

   Is Mommie Dearest based on a true story?

   • I love Mommie Dearest, even though it's very controversial. The movie is based on an autobiography by Christina Crawford, about her mother- actress Joan Crawford. Christina claims that her mother was abusive. While she was kind around other people, there are moments where Joan is horrible to Christinia.

   Mommie Dearest certainly doesn't lack for conviction, and neither does Faye Dunaway's legendary performance as a wire-wielding monster; unfortunately, the movie is too campy and undisciplined...
