Search: Starring Meryl Streep

A film of true originality...triumph of courage over conformity

We witness the best ensemble acting in a film with actresses in leading roles that Hollywood has produced this year.

When a film is made with this much love, its goodness shines.

Both female stars are on fine form here, relishing the chance to let go and unleash the full force of their personalities.

Despite the costumes being ab fab, darling, the plot's no blazing trendsetter.

What made the original feel like a breath of fresh air makes the sequel feel like just another entry in a crowded field of contemporary institutional satires

We see the pernicious and warped modern US in all its glory, turning common sense and science on its head and it's hilarious.

One of this year's must-see films.

Evening has all the advantages one might hope for. It's a shame, then, that it doesn't quite fulfill its potential.

Jeff Kaufman's documentary explores the intersection of the personal, the political and the artistic with a focus on understanding what the playwright always advanced as the most important of human endeavours: communication.

A fantastic adaptation that manages to surpass its source material while staying entirely true to its spirit.

The embarrassment levels are high

Jones spares none of the gory details in his depiction of the way the West really was.

It would be difficult to overestimate the quality of this film.

Meryl Streep looks more and more fabulous in each new role and is clearly having the time of her life here.

Anyone over the age of 35 will find the whistle-stop, romanticised tour of Thatcher's career offers scarcely any insight, skating over most of the interesting issues.

Jim Carrey makes a compelling villain, so much so that when he's not on screen, you want him back.

Jonathan Demme directs with utter simplicity.

Allen's finest screenplay to date, filled with expostulating characters with relationship difficulties and hilarious interludes about the human condition.

The stakes are high and the fears tangible in this return, which invites discussion and doesn't protect parents from uncomfortable questions. This is the power of the film. Mary Poppins herself wouldn't want it any other way.

It is not only a town that has become a museum, but also a town that learns how to rebuild itself by using crisis conditions to its advantage.

A delightful, genial, lovable movie - the product of an idiosyncratic artist and master storyteller.

Streep is terrific, Thurman is aglow and Greenberg is a real find.

The Prom's heart is in the right place but its beat never quite finds a strong rhythm.

By opening up his story Hood may reach a wider audience and this is a subject which certainly cries out for more attention.

There’s lot of music along the way, thrown in to the mix in a none too subtle manner, although Streep manages to carry off most of it with verve and true grit.

It's unclear whether we're supposed to be laughing at, or with, the protagonists - a fatal mistake.
