Meryl laughs her way thru this one
24 December 2022
This movie was ok, but my review is based entirely on the way Meryl Streep laughs her way out of every line of dialogue. Who am I to disparage the good name of MS? Please. I know. But if you do a rewatch, how can you not notice? She laughs at the end of 90% of her dialogue, I'm wondering what acting technique this is from The Great? The only time she doesn't laugh is when she is in a scene when she is sombre or contrite with Adam, the architect, or sitting on the bed with her children, even then she may have snuck in a flippant petit rire, I can't keep count. This is coming from a huge Meryl Streep Fan. I found it oddly distracting, then I was bemused, then I was in denial, then I was perplexed, then I was distracted again. Oh well - a mystery of life. It's complicated, I suppose!
