Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)

From the trailers, I thought this was going to be a comedy: look at the funny lady who can’t sing but doesn’t know it because everyone plays along and pretends she’s amazing!! But this reminded me somewhat of Lars and the Real Girl: a community coming together in kindness to support one they loved and admired.

I wouldn’t call this a great movie, but it was entertaining and definitely feel-good. Hugh Grant really made the movie, though. He deserved more recognition.
