Review of Mermaids

Mermaids (1990)
7/10
fun but overlong
14 October 2019
This thoroughly enjoyable coming-of-age movie stars Winona Ryder at her adolescent charm-peak as a confused girl dealing with her eccentric mother, played by an equally charming Cher.

The movie is funny and likable, even if Cher pushing her daughter to date a full-grown man feels a little, shall we say, dated as of 2019.

As enjoyable as the movie is, it begins to lose energy in the second half, and by the end I was feeling somewhat restless. I'd say this movie at 90 minutes would have been much better. Still, worth watching.
