Quote:
Sophie's Choice is a 1982 American romantic drama film that tells the story of a Polish immigrant, Sophie, and her tempestuous lover who share a boarding house with a young writer in Brooklyn. The film stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol. Alan J. Pakula directed the movie and wrote the script from a novel by William Styron, also called Sophie's Choice.

This is widely regarded as one of Meryl Streep's finest performances, and it won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. The film was nominated for Best Cinematography (Néstor Almendros), Costume Design (Albert Wolsky), Best Music (Marvin Hamlisch), and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Alan J. Pakula).

Umm...Meryl Streep gives the best performance I've ever scene by an actor in this movie. However, it lacks in nearly every other area.
The scene where she has to make her choice, however, is one of the most riveting, emotional moments ever put on film.

So...I'll give it an A simply because of Meryl's performance, since it basically IS the movie.

So Meryl is the bomb, but the movie itself? Not so much.

C+
