I haven't watched the movie, but glad you enjoyed it along with Meryle Streep.  We went to see 'Out of Africa' and we left after the first half hour and I'm a Robert Redford fan.  I have to disagree with your review of her; I'm just not a Streep fan.  :shrug:  I haven't seen her in anything I liked.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Streep is a extremely talented and versatile actress, but not one I can say I "like" or would make the effort to see.
 I thought she was excellent in Out of Africa, but Redford was so miscast, it was hard to watch. The cinematography made up for those shortcomings (no pun intended).

Streep did an excellent job in Mrs. Doubtfire.  :whistle:

She did a great job in the "only murders in the Building"  show on Hulu.

Watched 'No Country for Old Men' on ROKU yesterday. It is a good movie but my God, it is so depressing.

The character played by Woodie Harrelson is completely gratuitous. He shows up in a couple of scenes and then is unceremoniously killed adding 'nothing' to the plot or to the movie.

The movie trope of the "super-villain" who can find anyone anywhere, and has the ability to infiltrate any building and suddenly just 'show up' anywhere at anytime, and cannot be killed is a little overused at this point. The movie had me hooked and interested until the end, but it is far from my favorite movie.

Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

"No Country"?
No interest.

It's a Coen brothers film, and NOTHING they've put out does anything for me.
I tried watching "Oh, Brother", and didn't last 20 minutes. And I enjoyed the soundtrack (which stands on its own, completely separate from the film).

I did watch the one "Inside Llewyn Davis", and it was totally boring, except for the character doing singer Tom Paxton, who was very good (but NOTHING else in that movie was).

All I have to see is "Coen Brothers"... and I know it's nothing I'll really enjoy.

Having said that, this weekend's watching will be "The Prophecy", with Christopher Walken.
We'll see how that one goes.
