Florence Foster Jenkins tells the story of a New York heiress and patron of musical arts who wants to sing but has a terrible voice. This woman has records and gives a concert at Carnegie Music Hall. And kudos to director Stephen Frears and Merly Streep that it ends up being a touching story of damaged human beings. I actually cried during this. Meryl Streep is an amazing actress. Her voice normally is very very good (as evident in Mamma Mia) but she makes it sound really bad (oh you should hear her character sing Queen of The Night aria from Mozart's Magic Flute) and Hugh Grant is also very good in the type of role he usually plays. This is recommended.
