Carlos F Buena pelicula, impone la duda de cual es la verdadera historia de Sofia, sin embargo me choca la personalidad de Sofia y de su amante, creo que Sofia por sus experiencias deberia ser menos sumisa, y el amante más cuerdo. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Audience Member This ended up being a sad movie, and to its demise had some unfocused and lengthy parts, but the performances were amazing. I really liked Meryl Streep's portrayal of Sophie as well as Kevin Kline's portrayal of Nathan. What interesting characters with real depth! By the end you truly feel Sophie's pain from her story which was shown rather than told, which on the flip side is Nathan's version of how his story is depicted through his brother! Yet both of their demises and deaths felt significant and hit you hard. Stingo played an important role in their friendship and his dynamic with both of them and how he's a third wheel in both good ways and bad ways was good writing! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Christian K A sobering story that showcases some real peaks in acting and filmmaking, but has its fair share of tedious and stale valleys. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Chris H If you can make it though the first hour, which is slow and patchy, you will be rewarded. Streep is amazing throughout but so is Kline. Not sure what Peter MacNicol is doing in the film except to provide context and a "sane" character to contrast with the others.In the second half the full horror of Sophie's life is revealed, but in a subdued way; more like a novel than a Hollywood blockbuster, which is entirely appropriate. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Jeff M I'll try to keep this short and sweet. This has been my favorite film ever for at least 30 years, and I don't foresee any motion picture dethroning it anytime soon. It contains the single best performance by an actor I've ever seen and secured a cinematic love affair I've had since I was 10 years old, when my grandmother took me to see SILKWOOD. Streep goes beyond acting and performance - there is no one like her, there will never be anyone like her and I feel lucky to have been alive during her tenure as the greatest actor ever. The story itself is emotionally volcanic, and the now legendary climactic "choice" scene is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a movie. But there is also a lot of joy and humor to be found in between the moments of angst. The flashback scenes showing how Streep and Kline met and fell in love are beautiful, and the chemistry between all three leads is crazy good. Like many of my favorites, this is not necessarily an easy film to watch, but the rewards for your mind and soul and heart are worth it. My favorite film ever! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Robert J Meryl Streep And Kevin Kline. The movie …. If you survived the holocaust you will never be the same person, ever!Streep's performance was incredible and she was rewarded with and Oscar. It's slowly paced but moves along just fine towards the middle and on. She learned to speak German and Polish for the part. Incredible acting and a must see.
