I've been avoiding Meryl Streep movies for some years because I was becoming numb to her talent. It was like having too much apple pie--it was good, but enough, already. A friend suggested I watch AOC because I like movies with difficult conversations. Streep was so good in this that I will have to watch the movie again because I probably missed some subtle elements of the film since I was mesmerized by her performance.

I'll watch it, and other Streep movies, in the next couple weeks.

Streep once told James Lipton of Inside the Actors Studio that each of her characters has a secret that no one knows about. The only secret she would share was the one held by her character in Kramer vs Kramer. The role she played was Mrs. Kramer and her secret was that she never loved her husband, Mr. Kramer--not even when she was married to him. It was sooooo fitting. And even though it was never said in the film, it was expressed in everything she did.... She is probably the greatest American actress of my generation.

So glad I gave AOC a chance.
