Review of Mommie Dearest (1981) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 29 Jun 1983
It's rich, stimulating thought in spite of itself. Lots of elegant clothes and settings, weirdly linked to a shock rhythm of tension and release. It's a movie dream turned into a movie nightmare, a wonderful idea the film doesn't know it has.
