Everything Meryl streep does is fantastic, she is the Rolls Royce of actresses!

Here’s what Anthony Lane has to say abut “Doubt,” Streep’s new film: This film, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, who adapted it from his own play, unfolds in 1964, at a Catholic school in the Bronx. A jovial priest, Father Flynn, (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is accused by the principal, sister Aloysius (Streep), of interfering with an altar boy. He denies it, she yearns to believe it, and we don’t care. Collectors of large narrative signposts will spend a happy couple of hours at Shanley’s movie, enjoying the window-rattling thunder storms that he uses to indicate spiritual crisis, and the grimness with which Sister Aloysius, narrowing her red-rimmed eyes, delivers the line “So, it’s happened.” I didn’t know you could hiss, groan, and murmur at the same time, but Streep can do anything. She is, of course, wasted on this elephantine fable; if only “Doubt” had been made in 1964, shot by Roger Corman over a long weekend, and retitled “Spawn of the Devil Witch” or “Blood Wimple,” all would have been forgiven. I guess Lane didn’t like it. So I’ll see it with all of the above in mine just to see Streep hiss, groan and murmur all at the same time.

Well if this isn’t just the most fabulous on-line textbook for actors of every stripe! I used to have my students watch Sophie’s Choice and Post Cards from the Edge…just to see what’s possible for one person to accomplish through sheer commitment. That’s not to say that her magic is just a matter of commitment. We all have something else we bring. But this is great, wowOwow! And very inspiring for me. Thank you so much! I’ve loved almost everything she’s ever done, but I have to say Mama Mia just knocked me out.

Meryl was outstanding in Sophie’s Choice. It is, however, a movie that I cannot watch again…..even objectively from the new century in which we all reside and from which we do not anticipate another Third Reich. Of course, the world was not expecting its rise then….. even though we historically can see the signs. As for the movie, a mother should never, never have to make such a choice. Sophie’s madness needs no further explanation. Supremely played by Meryl. Kevin Kline was wonderful too. My second selection is Bridges of Madison County, a Clint Eastwood masterpiece in understatement.

Meryl Streep is brilliant. And such an impressive body of work. Seventeen Golden Globe nominations, with six wins. Fourteen Academy Award nominations, with two wins. And she’s not even close to being done yet. My personal favorite is her role in Sophie’s Choice. I’ve lost count how many times I have watched this movie. But still she makes me cry everytime.
