Jessica Lange and Kim Stanley give superb performances as the troubled actress Frances Farmer and her domineering mother, compensating for the shapeless narrative, which is too ridden with cliches of showbiz biopics.

In one year (along with "Tootsie") Lange went from joke to respect.

Top CriticLange is wonderful, and provides a searing, tremendous reason to see a film that would otherwise collapse under even a moment of analytical pressure.

Jessica Lange's outstanding performance offers an intriguing portrait of Frances Farmer, an actress who marched to the beat of her own drummer and paid the price.

Despite the cardboard characters she's surrounded by, Jessica Lange single-handedly makes this depressing film worth watching.
