Re: What was the last movie you watched?
Sophie's Choice
This was an absolutely excellent film on just about every level. I would really love to go much more in-depth with my review, but I am still trying to digest it all. All I can say for now is that the story was completely compelling and the performances were absolutely outstanding. Streep is of course who everyone talks about when this film is brought up (and it should go without saying, she is AMAZING in this), but Kevin Kline had so much to offer as well in his first starring role. He brought so much dimension, empathy and likability to a character that could have very easily been characterized as a completely despicable human being. In many respects, he completely owns the screen in a great deal of his scenes. It's also an absolute masterwork of a screenplay. This movie is more or less a straight-up drama for the majority of its duration, but throughout it has so many twists and turns that are pulled off so convincingly and unpredictably, that the vast majority of run-of-the-mill thrillers would be ashamed by their own countless contrivances after being compared to this film. Such a powerful film - honestly can't remember what was the last movie I saw in which The Holocaust played a central role that was as good as this. I have a feeling this will have a lot of staying power for me. 10/10
