MERMAIDS was a 1990 ensemble film that starred Cher alongside young talents such as Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci. Filming took place at various locations in Massachusetts; director Richard Benjamin crafted a nostalgic, richly detailed journey back in time to the early 1960s. Critics particularly praised the chemistry between the cast and Cher’s ability to convincingly portray a complex mother figure.

For Cher, the role was yet another demonstration of her range. She was able to combine comedic lightness with emotional depth. The film remains a favourite with audiences who appreciate stories about family, identity and the chaos of life.
