Meryl Streep seldom disappoints (if ever) and this film is no different. She plays the real-life character of Florence Foster Jenkins who may be the worst singer in the world, and definitely the worst to play Carnegie Hall! Streep does her own singing in the movie and her accompanist, Simon Helberg from The Big Bang Theory, handled most of the piano scenes himself.

Although Meryl played the part well my research tells me Jenkins was in her mid-seventies when she died; in spite of the makeup that made Streep appear much older she certainly didn’t look that age.
