Florence Foster Jenkins PG
Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant star in this riotously entertaining film that tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite whose musical ambition was matched only by her inability to hit a single note. As she prepares to grace the stage at Carnegie Hall, her loyal entourage must decide whether to indulge the fantasy, or break the terrible truth. A lavish, heart-warming symphony that sings with the hustle and bustle of 1940s New York.
‘Stephen Frears’s enjoyable, sentimental biopic gives Streep a role to relish, while Hugh Grant provides a touching foil in a genuine paean to mediocrity’ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
