<p dir="auto">This much is certain: long after Meryl Streep has passed, much of her film/TV/theater work will be praised.<br />
Also, you won't live forever, meaning once you die, you won't be discussing your opinion. Which spews forth just like certain bodily functions.<br />
It don't matter who you hear it from. It's the same story.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not "baseless" at all.  With Streep you are constantly aware that she is "acting"she never stopsit's exhausting to sit through one of her "performances".  Total phony and unnatural performer.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't buy the "that was the point" line. I thought she was awful in this part.<br />
That's your baseless opinion. I've been around people that were exactly like her character and she played it dead on. Her character had obvious mental issues, one being boderline personality disorder and that is the behavior they exhibit.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm convinced that Streep could fart on the screen for ninety minutes w/o saying a word and they'll STILL give her a nomination. It's almost a reflex action. What she is is an impressionist, not an actress.<br />
I've enjoyed some of Streep's work, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan.  But I thought your comment was hilarious.  I think Sandra Bullock said something to the effect that they ought to have a separate Oscar category just for Streep.</p>

<p dir="auto">Once again her "acting" nods are bestowed b/c of a fawning press which would praise this Rich Little if she farted on the screen for 90 minutes.  The only Streep performance I thought was any good was A Cry In The Darkwhere the character she was portraying was as annoying as she is.</p>

<p dir="auto">Agree! What a tricky scene for Juliette to pull off convincingly. I bet that necessitated a few million takes. She certainly excelled at her craft - in every scene she had.<br />
I consider every actor in this movie absolutely integral to the end Work of Art - not a hair out of place .. no doubt painstakingly hand picked with outstanding performances by each and every one!<br />
What a brilliant Masterpiece.<br />

<p dir="auto">If Meryl Streep is having her ass kissed, it's by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as she has gotten more than her share of Oscar nods over the years- this movie included (she is over-the-top here). As for the press, she deserves every accolade she's received. She's on a very short list of great American actors. Period.<br />
And if Meryl Streep is guilty of being a "mimic", then so are non-Americans Ewan McGregor and Benedict Cumberbatch. And Juliette Lewis in her last scene when she leaves in the middle of the night.<br />
