Meryl Streep did an amazing job in this movie. Her acting was genuine and truthfully to this character. Kevin Kline and the actor that played Stingo did a fair job but she carried this movie. My one issue was the sound quality of the commentary. It was horrid! The movie was louder than the commentator. I'm not sure if it was my copy but it was very annoying.

My wife and I first saw ths movie when it was released in 1982. If you are into enjoying movies because you enjoy ultra fine acting you will love this film. Others will find it slow and a bit boring. I guess, because of our age, and a true appreciation of the horrors that many people went through in World War II, we were more emotionally impacted by the premise of the movie.

I agree with some of the other reviews that this movie starts slowly, and leans a bit toward boring in the first hour. It's very long, but after viewing the film in its entirety, I do think that it was worth the wait. Watch this film AT LEAST for Streep's performance. All of the characters are beautifully acted and developed. All in all, I would highly recommend this film.

Great performances from all three leads, beautifully made film, intensely dramatic and ultimately sad story. Kevin Kline nearly steals the film from under Meryl Streep, and should have been nominated for this!!! Highly recommend!
