Am I a Pollack apologist? Possibly. I find Meryl rather striking hair, but I love 80s Meryl the most and I appreciate how she sort of takes the gargantuan film on shoulders and makes it...charming, endearing, pleasant? <br /><br />I can't disagree with you on the things you call it out for.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184018.post-19931528631670025202011-07-01T01:07:35.954+01:002011-07-01T01:07:35.954+01:00I don't remember much from this movie except t...I don't remember much from this movie except that it was beautiful, and that it had Meryl Streep.
