It wasn't so private. She was quoted saying that and it was in a biography about her. Funny how you mentioned that because a friend and I were just discussing that this evening. It's really hard to believe that Kate felt that way but I'm reckoning a lot of it had to do with Kate being one sort of actress and Meryl being another. I always like Kate though despite her opinion and you are right - it was unjust criticism.
That was all rather thrilling. Anything more cinematographic could scarcely be imagined. -

ummmm, I'm a movie fan and didn't love the movie either. the boot story wasn't even her best performance in the film.
With all the smoking going on, I debated stepping out to burn one, but stayed put
Best acting ever? Thats a bold statement, especially if you think this film is the tits. -

That's fine to go if you are a fan of studying acting but I go for story. I was with other people but had to get up a take a break for about half the film. Even with every star imaginable in it, I just could not stand the story, the mood or the characters. I leve performances by each of them in other movies but this was just too damn depressing and laborious to watch. The women I went with absolutely loved it and gushed about it all eveningthey loved Meryl and the arguments she would get in. Sorry, just not for me. I can take depressing ( Ordinary People is a good example) but there has to be a compelling story with it.

I didn't like the film very much at all, especially the histrionics of the Streep and Roberts characters. I hated all the shrieking they did. I know they were damaged women, but I just found them really hard-going and I wanted them to shut up. The only thing that rescued the film for me were the much quieter performances of Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ewan McGregor. I also liked Julianne Nicholson's performance and I thought Margo Martindale was very good, too.

That is a really fine quote. The whole thing, really.
Felt the same way.

bpollen, I couldn't agree more with you about this movie. The cast was amazing!
I really enjoy movies where the actors actually ACT. N0 T&A, no cars blowing up
no gratuitous violence. A thinking persons movie. -

self pity didn't do anything for me
yeah I'm sure you're such a strong character, you never whine about anything except this movie.
But please by all means, keep us updated on your walks. It's fascinating.

I watched this at home and when a film doesn't grab me I go on internet and leave it on in the background.
I could never watch this in a theatre.
The third act was pretty intense but it doesn't save this mess.
