it a real challenge to make a movie about a baby be devour by wild canine and the mother be wrongly accuse of murder funny but against all odds this one succeed . meryl streep give the performance of her life and melodramatic and overwrought but with that comic genius that keep you laugh even a a mother struggle with the ultimate horror . if comedy about the infant be eat by dog be not your cup of tea you might be uncomfortable watch this and and yes and it be an odd choice of topic for a farce but really very little of the movie have anything to do with that a it focus on give streep a showcase for her aussie accent and facial contortion . throw in a slam at medium bias and sensationalism and disregard for either the truth or ethic give the movie the chance to make the daring point that those thing be bad .
