A movie starring both Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman is an event not to be missed and I'm so glad I finally managed to watch this flick. I was expecting something pretty good and I wasn't disappointed, in fact, it was even better than I thought it would be. Indeed, Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman were both really good here and when there was this big confrontation, it was like witnessing some kind of awesome cinematic Clash of the Titans. They were both so into their characters, it was just amazing. Concerning Amy Adams, to be honest, at the time, I wasnโt really a fan of her work because she used to play some really obnoxious characters but, fortunately, she toned down her usual hysteria and she wasn't bad at all. A part from that, I thought it was a rather fascinating and relevant story, even if it took place almost 40 years ago. During this movie, even though it might not be the point at all, I was reminded about our attitude towards children and, pretty often, if you get close to a child, it will be judged as inappropriate by many people. Furthermore, it was dealing with many interesting subjects such as religion, pride, ambition, guilt and, of course, doubt. To conclude, the actors were awesome, the story was spellbinding and it was definitely worth a look.
