Reviews

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

Postcard's From the Edge is a tiny Guignol, and unfortunately it doesn't know it. [Full review in Spanish]

The basic story has its moments of poignancy, but the general tone is flip, facile and wryly witty. Of course, humor is a very movable feast -- all I can say is that this old grump laughed his fill.

"Postcards" won't solve the fundamental dilemmas of human existence, but it passes the time agreeably.

Rob Lowing

When Streep and MacLaine are on screen together, it's hard to know who to watch. Both actresses bring a crucial authority to their roles, which also gives the fluffy plotline some ballast.

The situations may be serious -- the first scene is about drug addiction, the second an overdose -- but their absurdity is the reigning buffer.
