This movie was outstanding, interweaving two women's real life stories and how they paralled, one influencing the other while never meeting. Richness and beauty in both lives came through even though one character was a stranger to us and one, well known to all. Streep was nothing short of genus in her role. I loved, loved, loved it ! ( less talking with food in the mouth by all would have been welcome and mentioned by all of my group of 5 )
