Ms. Jenkins has one great love in life and that is to sing. However, that is one love that does not lover her back. Ms. Jenkins's singing voices is hart to swallow, yet, that does not stop her from singing. When her favorite teacher is free for lessons again and she hires him and starts planning a concert. With the world on a brink of war Ms. Jenkins decides to make a record to make a record to make as many people as she can happy. She even goes as far as to renting out Carnegie Hall to preform for the soldiers. With her pianist Cosme and her husband St. Clair by her side she does one of the bravest things and sing horribly in front of drunk soldier to give them a little bit of happiness.

I think the Florence Foster Jenkins is the one of the most relatable heroes to ever grace the appearance of a movie screen. She is relatable to everyone at least in some point of their lives. Really she is like a child. There are many things that every child thinks they are amazing at. Not just think they are good at it but really cocky about. Ms. Jenkins doesn't hear how bad she sounds. She really thinks that she sounds amazing. Like one of the best singers is what she puts herself up there with. Because she thinks this way she we all can relate to her. I would love to say that I am one of the best movie reviews ever but I know that I am not but it doesn't stop me from doing this.

Meryl Streep is one of the very few actors in Hollywood that is wildly known and no matter what character that she plays you always forget that she is Meryl Streep. That she literally becomes the character that she is playing. That is why she is so memorable in all of her performances because she has that talent that no many actors can posses. This is also one of the best performances that I have ever seen from Hugh Grant. He was funny, witty, sensitive, and authentic in this role. The surprising performance from this movie was Simon Helberg. Everyone knows this man from Big Bang Theory but when you see him in this film he is simply astonishing! He is plays the quiet piano player to Ms Jenkins and proves to be a very good friend to her in the end.

As for the set, costumes, make up, music, and everything else that went into the film it was amazing! There was hardly a complaint when it came to watching the film. It was a thrill to watch and most defiantly a film I will add to my collection.
