little miss foster . . .

Last weekend we went to see Florence Foster Jenkins. If you love Meryl Streep, go see it. If you think Hugh Grant is a fluff actor who has skated by in type-cast roles for most of his career, go see it (I did. He really can act, as it turns out.) If you love music and appreciate its power during difficult times, go see it.
And if you want to see Simon Helberg (Howard of Big Bang Theory) in a completely different, adorable role that makes the film, go see it. The trailers do not let on to the depth of this film. Based on a true story, set in the 1940s in New York City, this film was definitely worth seeing. Enjoyable with that old familiar feeling... life with tragedy all around, and still life, beautiful life, after all.

Post script: Meryl Streep really can sing. I am in awe of her acting ability.
