it seem like most ( if not all ) the movie i can remember watch with meryl streep in the lead be at least solid movie . this one be no exception . although the pacing trickle at time i always be interested in the character . streep and cher and and russell be all pretty good . fred ward and craig t nelson also lend some good support to the lead . there be quite a few support actor who have make their niche over the year and be recognizable . base on a true and silkwood be deliberate and methodical while at time feel cozy . the set ( house ) of the main character serve a a great backdrop for their bantering dialog . it set in the south around oaklahoma and texas . only small problem be the end seem a little bit hastily put together though and a little bit detract . nevertheless worth at least one sit down viewing .
