Wonderful and moving perfomance by Lange. Hard to watch, but very well done.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Biography of 1930s movie star Frances Farmer--who wound up in a barbaric insane asylum--chronicles her tragic life in some detail, but doesn't help us understand the reasons for her self-destructive tendencies. Well crafted but cold and depressing, despite impressive performances by Lange and Stanley, as Frances' crazed mother. Her story is also told in the TVM, WILL THERE REALLY BE A MORNING? and in the independent feature COMMITTED. Look for Kevin Costner, who has one line in an alley.
