This is the story of legendary movie star Joan Crawford as she struggles for her career and battles the inner demons of her private life. This torment was manifested in her relationships with her adopted children Christina and Christopher. The public Crawford was a strong-willed glamorous object of admiration but Mommie Dearest reveals the private Crawford desperate to be a mother adopting her children when she was single and trying to survive in a devastating industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly. The terrifying descent into alcoholism and child abuse are graphically and unforgettably depicted in this film.
