Directed by Richard Benjamin • 1990 • United States
Starring Winona Ryder, Cher, Bob Hoskins
Cher, Winona Ryder, and Christina Ricci make for a memorably unconventional family in this wry, winningly offbeat coming-of-age tale. Set in 1963 (with a period-perfect soundtrack to match), MERMAIDS centers on fifteen-year-old, Jewish but Catholicism-obsessed Charlotte Flax (Ryder) who, along with her younger sister (Ricci), has grown tired of constantly being forced to move due to her free-spirited mother (Cher), who changes towns as often as she changes men. When the family arrives in the small town of Eastport, Massachusetts, Charlotte hopes that finally she can put down roots as both she and her mother navigate new relationships.
