sophie choice be a luke warm flick with a whole lot of toos . too long and too obvious and too theatrical and too unbelievable and etc . telling of a holocaust survivor in america and sophie ( streep ) and and the pair of love interest she cultivate ( kline and macnicol ) and this ensemble drama showcases an oscar winning and memorable performance by streep who get to stretch and strut her consummate talent over a 2 . 5 hour run . streep wonderful workout be about the only reason to give this 20 plus year old flick a dust off . recommend only for streep fan .
