This is the first film that I had seen Meryl Streep in and just loved her. She is elegantly strong in this film and her talent shows thru tremendously. Her Oscar’s from earlier films like Out of Africa, Sophie’s Choice and
Catherine O’Hara
A Cry in the Dark, all romantic dramas with power ful stories. Jack Nicholson, well, is Jack Nicholson 🙂 His charisma and charm mixed with his devilish handsomeness and great acting abilities to be himself yet invent a character for this film and every movie his in in. Love him!
The opposite talents of both Streep and Nicholson prove to balance this movie into a wonderful drama of real life love and pain.
With the great supporting cast of Stockard Channing, Richad Masur, Catherine O’Hara, Jeff Daniels and Maureen Stapleton they only complement the story line and make for a great chic flic 🙂
