FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS film review

– By Cate Marquis –

Stephen Frears offers sweet ode to the odd in FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

 

Could singing so bad it provoked laughter raise the spirits of a nation at war? In the case of Florence Foster Jenkins, an heiress and patron of music, it did, although many of her fans did not realize that Mrs. Jenkins didn’t know she was being funny. She really did think she could sing.

This strange but true story is the basis of  director Stephen Frears’ FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS. The film stars Meryl Streep as the deluded Mrs. Jenkins, Hugh Grant as her solicitous manager/assistant/second husband St. Clair Bayfield, and Simon Helberg as her beleaguered accompanist Cosme McMoon.
