Add a CommentSophie's 'choice'. My God -- what a choice. Exceptional film (admittedly a bit long for me though). Kline's and MacNicol's performances were exemplary. Meryl Streep was OUTSTANDING. Known for her ability to imitate foreign and domestic accents, she apparently took a Polish language course for four months for this role. She was absolutely entitled to her award for this piece. She's incredible.
A classic tragedy.
Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol were all wonderful. The movie was exceptionally well made and written. Its only fault lies within the length, but that did not kill the film by any means. I can definitely see why the sadness this movie evokes from its viewers is commonly compared to any other film that pulls at the heartstrings. Streep does a great job of getting that accomplished. She completely deserved her Oscar for this role.
