As others have stated, Streep's acting is good - the movie is not. It tries to trick you into thinking it's in any way meaningful by liberally throwing around subjects like death, suicide and concentration camps, but at it's heart it's an unengaging story of a love triangle that is played out way too long and to no effect together with the underlying theme of a coming of age story of StingoThe worst offense though is the part about Sophie's "choice"; it's historically ridiculous in it's portrayal of the Nazis. The whole scene is a shameless tearjerker that tries to one-up the Nazis, as if what they actually did in Poland and elsewhere wasn't bad or drammatic enough to make a film about.
I can't judge to what extend the book is artistically relevant in it's attempt to rewrite the history of Nazi's crimes in Poland as not having been mainly against Jews but a manifestation of a higher Evil directed towards all humanity and to have those views reflected in modern society - but when you just look at this film adaptation, you'll hardly have to bother with such nuances.

Meryl Streep was amazing. But the most important part of the movie just last 20 minutes; terrible photography and long. I wouldn't watch it twice.floatsuit
I don’t understand why someone who had been through so much shit would want anything to do with either of the two male characters.CSSCHNEIDER
SOmeone said it has terrible photography? It's some of Nestor Almendros' finest work! A beautifully lit and crafted piece of cinematography.The rest of the film is just as great.

Although the movie overall is far from flawless, I believe it deserves to be in more official lists!!! Meryl Streep's performance is abslolute perfection!!!thesearethethoughts

Great performances indeed, but furthermore I really didn't like it.SeanMX12
The best female performance i've ever witnessed. I actually found Meryl Streep somewhat overrated before seeing this.pamcheto

Is it about a Polish survivor of Auschwitz or about a menage à trois?Read more in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.
