"Also available on YouTube for free with ads. When I was young, Faye’s performance as Joan scared the sh*t out of me. As an adult, I’ve come to actually understand what I’m watching. The abuse, the dysfunction, the generational trauma. I never realized that there are people out there who don’t believe accusations made by Joan Crawford’s daughter (Christina Crawford) in a book (of the same name) that led to the making of this movie. Regardless of what the truth is: this movie, and the events that take place in it, are disturbing. We may laugh at the wire hangers bit and other happenings, but it’s important to be mindful of the fact that “Mommie Dearest” resonates deeply for so many. This movie is genuinely disturbing."
"My mom introduced this movie to me when I was younger… and this movie makes me appreciate my mother even more because Mommie Dearest was evil as heck ! Lord, this movie was good but was kinda scary. Wth, is wrong with that lady ? Why would she take those children in, if she was gon treat them like that ? 😭 if you would ask me what my top five movies are, Mommie Dearest would be one of them. "
