Sophie's Choice

While I do love Meryl Streep, this movie really didn't wow me. Meryl does look gorgeous in this, and its refreshing to see the younger Meryl, before she became a multiple Oscar winner and the force that she is now. Kevin Kline is a bit of a caricature and Peter MacNicol's character is too flat (though I do adore the accent). For a movie about the Holocaust, this is sort of flounders and isn't able to capitalize on the innate sympathy it should be able to draw. Streep's character is the only one that has any depth of chance for development, but that alone is not able to save its meandering plot, weak script, and unmemorable music and cinematography.

PASS!
