Florence Foster Jenkins

Saw this the other night and really enjoyed it. Meryl Streep was wonderful, Hugh Grant was better than expected but Simon Helberg, the actor playing the pianist, stole the show. I laughed so much at his performance that I was in tears. A brilliantly funny film but also quite moving and poignant. Would definitely recommend it.

I have treated DH to my own FFJ several times since yesterday - he is looking forward to todays recital which I am planning in the garden so that the neighbours can enjoy it.

Saw it today at 5.3o - only a handful of people in the cinema. Great film, very funny but also quite sad especially at the end. Brilliant acting by meryl Streep. Hugh Grant and rhe bloke who played the pianist.

I'm looking forward to this one. I've always been a big fan as my parents had several of her records and played them a lot.

I'm hoping to see it next week, it's been well reviewed, always love Meryl Streep.

Luckygirl it was hilariously bad, wasn't it.

I have just been listening to some archive recordings of the lady herself - they are fabulous in their awfulness, and cleared my chest a treat!

Glad you enjoyed it. D wants me to go with her.
