I can't believe Meryl got an Oscar nom for this over Amy Adams and Annette Bening.

Somewhat repetitive, yet quite entertaining.

Agnes Stark (Nina Arianda) absolutely steals every scene she's in.

The reactions of Cosme McMoon (Simon Helberg) to Florence's vocal abilities are also fantastic.

Florence Foster Jenkins is sweet and often witty biopic about the grande dame of deluded bad singing who somehow charmed audiences with mere enthusiasm back in the 1940s. An eccentric not unlike Ed Wood, her story plays as tragi-comedy, infused with humanity by some excellent performances by, yes okay, Meryl Streep, but perhaps more memorably by Hugh Grant (and ambiguous character who managed to break my heart) and Simon Helberg (who may just steal the show). Very funny supporting work from Nina Arianda as well, as a non-fan who may just find what it is that makes Florence Foster Jenkins something special. But at its heart, this is more a story about mental illness than vanity, so one should temper one's laughs. We get to hear the real Foster Jenkins at the end and guess what, Streep still can't (or won't) sing as badly.

A sweet story. It really made me fall in love with Florence (Meryl Streep), St Clair (Hugh Grant) and Cosme (Simon Helberg) as characters. I enjoyed the plot and the message behind it. Florence's words stayed especially in my mind: "The can say I can't sing but they can't say I didn't". This is truly a life lesson. The movie shows the incredible support Florence had and it just shows what an integral part of community and society she was. Truly inspiring and not so bad as some may say. sure, it's not everybody's cup of tea but this is definitely mine.

"People may say i couldn't sing but no one can say i didn't sing".
even if some might find it annoying, but worthy of respect. 10/10

Definitely far too long and feels more like a made for tv movie that for the cinema.
