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.
