CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Charlotte (Winona Ryder) stands up to her mom (Cher) and says that she doesn't want to move.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
There's no point in recounting the many production problems and personal hostilities which plagued the filming of Mermaids: the end result is all that matters. Set in the 1960s, the film details the relationship between an unorthodox, unmarried vagabond mother (Cher), and her two daughters. The 15-year-old (Winona Ryder), continually embarrassed by her flamboyant mother, wants to be the world's greatest Catholic; the nine-year-old (Christina Ricci) would be satisfied with becoming the world's champion swimmer. Moving with her family to New England, the older daughter falls in love from afar with the groundskeeper (Michael Schoeffling) from a nearby convent, while Mom takes up with a lonely salesman (Bob Hoskins). Mermaids is perceptively adapted from the warmly comic novel by Patty Dann.

Winona’s facial expressions when she s saying “No mom the town already has one” Sassy asf!!!!

[@mac_c]

Winona should've been nominated for an Oscar based on this particular scene

[@lanceplaxton6967]

She was nominated for a Golden Globe award, but didn’t win.

[@Jane_hopper.]

@@lanceplaxton6967yes but 2016 for stranger things

[@alel3544]

I don't know why, but in the Italian version when Cher yells "What's your major, town tramp?", Charlotte answers "No, Mom, the town already has a *graduate* ". Quite more savage.

[@belair90210]

This movie is so ridiculously underrated😭

[@NikkieTwix]

100%, I’ve loved it since I was a kid

[@miket.6293]

yup

[@katrinahouston6249]

I just love this movie! I wish it was rated better! 😞😃

[@stefanpoirier6810]

Agreed. I remember seeing this film on TV s lot back then. It's still a solid drama. The cast is great. RIP Bob Hoskins

[@LetsChatGrace]

2:14 the sadness in cher’s face as she tries to hold back tears is so good,her acting is incredible. watched this film tonight and it was great!

[@NikkieTwix]

You should watch her in the movie Mask, it’s so freaking sad

[@emiliob7428]

It was powerful when Cher said her daughter was close to the age she was when she had her

[@emiliobello2429]

I know

[@jetnight88]

It’s not right a mother or father expects their eldest too look after their kid all the time when they go off somewhere.

[@sparklingglitterlucky9629]

That's not the point right now tho. She shouldn't have given her sister wine on the one hand. And secondly, she shouldn't have left her alone outside in the cold, where a river was present. Just so she could go off getting hot and heavy with her 26 year old crush

[@abimartinez8507]

Sparkling Glitter Lucky teenagers make mistakes but they learn and grow up from every single one , trying to understand yourself and the problems and situations around you as a teenager is the point .

[@jetnight88]

Sparkling Glitter Lucky but that is not her kid she didn’t give birth to it did she? And the mother did the exact same at her age so the mother can’t talk about looking after other people when you didn’t look after herself back then

[@jetnight88]

Sparkling Glitter Lucky that is is her responsibility it’s the parents responsibility too look after their kids. It’s not fair on the older kid because they lose their childhood for it

[@alel3544]

Come on, every parents ask their eldest to look after the youngest. Kate was around 8 years old, not a toddler. I know it's responsability, but Charlotte is a teenager, the perfect time to learn something about it.

[@anamargaridacardoso2216]

Winona is timeless ❤

[@stefanpoirier6810]

One of my favourite actresses

[@ReviewBoard-uy5nv]

The critics didn’t always know a good movie even if it slapped you in the face. This film is timeless. Ensemble, story, just excellent

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

It got 71% on rotten tomatoes and 6.7 on IMDb

[@stefanpoirier6810]

"The critics didn't always know a good movie even when it SLAPPED U IN THE FACE!" Mmmhmmm

[@newmedstudent]

....I never realized how talented cher is.

[@NikkieTwix]

Watch her in the movie Mask, real tear jerker

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

Powerful scene

[@ladydamdam9505]

Brilliant scene! So much feeling for that. One of the best mother daughter movie!

[@barisdurak17]

.. forever Winona

[@IkesDaddelbox]

As a guy who was abandoned by his father as a child, I can relate to Charlotte on a very personal level. Just that I knew mine pretty well. Or so I thought. Incredible movie, the perfect mix of comedy and tragedy.

[@debbieblohm7580]

I have this movie on DVD. I watch it over and over again. It's so good and funny. Cher is great in it. To bad it bombed. I thought it was great. Cher should be happy to know that I loved it. That's all I want to say. Bye for now. Debbie

[@fromthehaven94]

$35 million in 1990 dollars wasn't a disaster.

[@harounamir]

was that slap real ?? Poor girl wants to finish high school and gets a slap... Acting of both was fantastic

[@material-cheshirekhatter2413]

Yes, but it was an accident irl. Cher talks about it in an interview in 1990.

[@lisamcdonald1014]

No, Mom, the town already has one! (Slap!)

[@MartinHCollection]

Best movie slap ever!

[@andrewcolinwilson1]

Alexandra Medford from The Witches of Eastwick slaps Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice LOL

[@gracie99999]

and the sound was so crisp and legit

[@TheRealBDouble]

I always thought Cher was a bit underrated as an actress. She's pretty good

[@susieq8424]

Cher gives the best slaps! Yes! ❤️

[@gracie99999]

Cher just slaps leriodt

[@2degucitas]

"SNAP OUT OF IT!" slap slap

[@heidirourke8954]

I think the mother was upset because her baby almost drowned in the water and her sister wasn't watching careful because she just upset and I don't think she shouldn't of hurt her when she was upset and scared Heidi burns Rourke

[@greenlee7smythe]

Heidi Rourke it’s a movie.

[@heidirourke8954]

Your right it's just movie but I think.

[@jetnight88]

Heidi Rourke but it’s not fair she dumps her youngest on her eldest. The older sibling is not the mother or the baby sitter

[@josephhernandez1885]

@@jetnight88 exactly. No parent, mother or father, should depend on their eldest to watch the young ones 90% of the time

[@jetnight88]

Joseph Hernandez the elder kid misses out on a life like a typical normal teen does. But they can’t do that looking after a kid that’s not their kid

[@gianfedericorinalditv4922]

0:37 poor Charlotte :-((((

[@matinhedges643]

Well acted winona

[@roshelen884]

Did Cher really smack winona

[@thomasgraydon3634]

Yeah she actually did on accident. She talks about it during her interview with Oprah back in 1990.

[@andrewcolinwilson1]

Yeah and what I wonder is why she didn't slap her back.

[@grodjigoli9509]

Yes.

[@virgo14]

0:28 Charlotte: No, it's not like that!

[@lisamcdonald1014]

“Maybe if your life works better for you, but it doesn’t work for me, and I WANT TO STAY!!!!”

[@josephhernandez1885]

She forgot to tell Charlotte to snap out of it

[@mariosendejo7388]

Even after that slap I still see a good chemistry between these two

[@wns808]

I don't think any parent should hit their child but I don't think a child should disrespect their parents

[@OneStepataTimeProductions]

I agree, but what Winona Ryder said is part of Talking Disrespectfully, and a good rule should, No Talking Disrespectfully.

[@greenlee7smythe]

Shelly Ellis yeah well number one this was set in the time jfk was assasinated. Two, Charlotte had that coming....she called her mother a whore......three the world has gotten too pc.....four ITS A MOVIE!.....five, Winona Ryder asked Cher to really pop her to make it look real.....it’s a movie so let’s leave real feelings on that slap out of it huh?

[@bugzz7979]

Vocational High Schools do.

[@rachelmenth4677]

sounds like something the town tramp would say

[@fromthehaven94]

My high school mandated three different "paths" towards getting a diploma. The one I chose didn't necessarily imply that Advance Placement/challenge were required to be taken. Except for 10th grade English, I didn't.

If my momma slapped me I’d run away. And then she would be searching for me all night. Then I would be worried about her worrying about me. Then we would see each other again, and we would make up.

[@lynnwilson2091]

You should tell you mama you are s0 sorry

Taking the Lord's name in vein is no way to get angry, it's dishonorable.

U don’t like it: then don’t do it don’t say it don’t watch it....those that are not should not not do it because it bothers u....ur religion is not the ace in a game of cards here....it doesn’t trump everything and u get the benefits but everyone else be damned....it’s a film get over it or don’t watch it!
