Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep: two of the finest actors of our time…without a doubt.(Wow, that was lame.) All bad puns aside, watching these two work is a pleasure. The fact that four of the actors and the writer of this film were nominated for Oscars and none of them won probably says a lot about the strength of the field nominated for 2008. Definiitely statue worthy for both the performances and the screenplay. Great movie making that would have won in other years.
