Florence Foster Jenkins
(2016)
Directed by Stephen
Frears this film based on a true story stars Meryl Streep, Hugh
Grant, Simon Helberg and Rebecca Ferguson. In 1944 a tone deaf rich
woman wants to embark on a public singing career.
While this film is an
enjoyable watch with a decent message I found a little too light for
my taste. The script celebrates the endeavour of trying but at times
seems more interested in pushing it's own narrative over being
completely faithful to history. I enjoyed the performances and lets
face it, Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant are never going to be bad in
anything.
3/5
