Meryl Streep is one of the greatest actresses of all time and I don’t think anyone would argue with me on that one. I’ve enjoyed many of her films and I’m thinking I might enjoy this new one as well, “Florence Foster Jenkins”. In this one she plays Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer despite having a terrible voice. I will say that we get a hint of that so called terrible voice here and I am interested in where she takes it. She sung in “Into the Woods” which I haven’t seen but can she sing badly? What we do get here is another seemingly great performance by Streep and a great supporting cast featuring Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg. Florence Foster Jenkins releases May 6th, 2016 in the UK (lucky chaps) and August 31st, 2016 in the US.
