"SOPHIE'S CHOICE is a rare film, literate, deeply moving, and gifted with an absolutely awe-inspire it performance by Meryl Streep."

Bob Thomas of the Associated Press really comes out swinging and he should probably calm down. We all agree that Meryl is great, but the rest of the movie... not so much.

"The way Streep inhabits Sophie, and brings her history to life whether she's explicitly talking about the past or carrying herself across the room with wounded grace, can't help but make parts of the rest of the film seem smaller by comparison."

There it is, Keith Phipps of The Dissolve. We have decided Streep is good, that it just might make the movie worse. Stingo, Stinko, whatever your name is, you have no business talking to this woman at all.

Mike and Dave talk accents, manslaughter charges, and if this movie would even get made in the days of Film Twitter (the answer, as always, is no.) Oh, also we talk about Debra Winger A LOT.
