WORTH CONSUMING!

The previous reviewer may be happy for me. I had no idea what the choice was or even what this movie was about until I sat down to watch. By happy coincidence, I’m reading Man’s Search for Meaning right now. Each adds to each other for getting a glimpse of understanding the psychology of survival.

I’m surprised that Kline didn’t get an Oscar nomination for this performance. It certainly must have got him noticed. I understand 100% why Streep won her Oscar for this performance.

WORTH CONSUMING!

The fact that the choice referenced in the title has been widely “spoilered” by filtering into our communal pop-culture psyche over the past 26 years did not ruin this movie for me, though I suppose it lessened the impact of that crucial scene.

Meryl Streep was AMAZING and even beautiful, and I usually don’t care for her. Kevin Kline was his wonderful self (if you don’t like him, you still won’t like him). Peter MacNicol’s accent was… acceptable.
