if this movie only have meryl streep go for it it would be excellent . but the performance by kevin kline and peter macnicol enhance the awesome portrayal by ms. streep and of a woman face with a series of difficult choice and one of which should be unimaginable and but sadly be not . in my 40 plus year of moviegoing i have not see a fine actress than meryl streep . a word of warning and make sure you have your cry towel before you watch this excellent movie .
