Doesn't Get Much Better than This

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2020)

In my book, it's a 10; great writing (crisp, funny, moving), inspired acting by Streep and all, fine direction (doesn't get in the way and displays even-handedness) plus it's topical and super entertaining! What more do you want? It's not a "chick flick" because it can speak to anybody; uplifting and insightful, timeless themes, such as the power of confidence (swings both ways, good and bad), standing up for yourself and just being yourself despite the flack, and basically retelling the ugly duckling story with a twist. I feel like I learned something, too; what it means to be a winner, how circumstances can change a person but with the help of friends change can happen and not ultimately be one's downfall...
Rich here, out.
