Streep was wonderful...

I agree, but I'd slightly rephrase that: Meryl Streep's performances were wonderful.

Eh, I liked her better in "The River Wild." Not as "important" a film, certainly, but she seemed natural there. Not so much here. I don't care for theater tricks - accents, women playing men (except for the awesome Linda Hunt in The Year of Living Dangerously) - I have no problem with men playing female characters, I don't know why it doesn't work the other way.

And AinA was I started to hate Mary Louise Parker (nope, haven't seen "Weeds".) Was there a single non-gay-and-out human character in the play who was attractive AT ALL?

I remember one - Emma Thompson as the nurse. Nice little touch there.

*beep* streep. shes a filthy *beep* and she shouldn't be praised.

I absolutely loved her as Ethel. And the first time I watched it I didn't even realise Meryl was the rabbi!

Yes...Meryl was wonderful. But Emma was even more wonderful, and I wish she had won the Emmy instead.

It's Meryl Streep. 'nuff said.
