MERYL PLAYS A WICKED WOMAN

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2020)

This film provided an interesting change of pace for Meryl Streep, who usually portrayed sympathetic characters. I suspect she jumped at the chance to do something different.
She plays the classic Boss, who makes her underlings miserable, and appears to delight in doing so. It is a tribute to Meryl's talent that she can make such a character wholly believable, in contrast to most of her past portrayals.
Anne Hathaway plays the fresh-faced grad who is eager to please, and does it convincingly. The way she develops the character is interesting and absorbing to watch.
Overall, this picture is highly entertaining, well-paced, written, and well-acted by a talented star and equally talented supporting players.
