*** About this event: ***
Don't FUCK with me FELLAS!
Faye Dunaway stars as the biggest mother of them all: Joan Crawford. As she clutches at the pearls of her status as Hollywood Royalty, racing to keep from being phased out of the scene, Joan adopts a baby girl in the hopes of breathing new life into her public image. As her darling angel Christina Crawford begins to grow up, mother and daughter begin to butt heads, and the flames of family drama are fanned into an outright inferno. The ultimate exercise in camp, glamour, and deliciously wicked acting, Mommie Dearest is a definitive cult classic.
(Frank Perry, US, 1981, 128 min, in English)

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Executive Director Cara Mia Harris at caramia@nwfilmforum.org
