you know and watch julia robert in erin brockovich than watch meryl streep here in silkwood and you will become a film critic instantly . meryl streep be the character and while julia robert be simply play dress up . i like robert in many movie and but not erin brockovich which i find very flimsy and pander . kind of tv movie of the week . i be bring attention to this film because movie get lose very quickly these day and and this be a great one with first rate performance all around and include cher and kurt russell . it work a a small town drama and a character study and and also have element of suspense . everything be pull together neatly and tightly by mike nichols here and and the movie and despite the 80 haircut and style and still get you go today .
