FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS
"FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS" (2016)
MY THOUGHTS: One of the things, that I truly love about this film, is that it is based on a true story! I was so intrigued with this woman after seeing the film, I just had to look her up to learn more about her and she truly was a fascinating individual. I think they did a wonderful job telling her story. Meryl Streep is terrific as always, as is Hugh Grant. I was very happy to see Simon Helberg in his role. I was impressed with his performance and have long been a fan of his work. Overall, the movie is simply delightful!
SYNOPSIS: "In the 1940s, New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins dreams of becoming a great opera singer. Unfortunately, her ambition far exceeds her talent.

When Florence announces her plans for a concert at Carnegie Hall, St. Clair soon realizes that he's facing his greatest challenge yet."
