Plenty - 1985 * * * *

Meryl Streep was on top form in this film about a woman's quest to feel the same excitement that she felt whilst serving in the 2nd World War.

She takes her place alongside actors such as Charles Dance and Ian Mckellen as she meets lovers, friends and a husband who ultimately drives her completely mad.

I cannot speak highly enough of Meryl Streep, I think she is brilliant in every sense and I am slowly working my way through her huge backlog of amazing performances.

This is one of those films where you don't think it will be much good, and finish it realising you will be thinking of it for days.
