No matter how many times I watch this movie...


...I still don't understand how anybody could find it funny or campy. I've tried to find the humour in it, but I just can't. And I have a dark sense of humour.

It's a movie about a child being abused by her mother. I don't care how bad Faye Dunaway's acting is, I'm just failing to see the humour in it.

I'm not saying I dislike the movie. I just see it as a sad film about a mentally ill woman physically and mentally abusing a small child. My heart always aches for Christina.
