Maybe I didn’t find Florence Foster Jenkins as funny as some of the other people screening that I was in but I still found it a heartfelt film that grows on you the longer it goes on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2025

Meryl Streep gives a simple but glorious performance, showing that her many talents include a gift for deliberate bad singing.

| Mar 21, 2023

Florence Foster Jenkins found not only the obvious comedy but an unexpected tenderness in the tale of a tone-deaf diva (Meryl Streep), her supportive husband (Hugh Grant) and her gay accompanist (Simon Helberg).

| Dec 21, 2022

It’s a veritable stew of comedy, drama, and commentary. Yet despite being uneven and a bit stodgy, it’s hard not to be sucked in by its quirkiness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Streep's performance feels more like a force of nature next to the carefully modulated, three-dimensional portrayal by Grant, who shows an incredible range.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 11, 2022

Florence Foster Jenkins is an interesting film incredibly pleasant on the surface, and profoundly honest at its core.

| Feb 11, 2022

Florence Foster Jenkins is about love, art, and sublime foolishness.

| Nov 4, 2021

A wonderfully eccentric character beautifully portrayed by Meryl Streep who manages to sing badly very, very well.

Florence Foster Jenkins just sings to me.

| Nov 4, 2021

Meryl Streep once again captivates...

| Aug 27, 2021

There's no denying that Streep is one of the greatest actresses of our (all?) time, but there's plenty of room to argue that her recent run hasn't been as astounding as past laps of victory. With Florence Foster Jenkins, she returns in grand fashion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2021

It's an extraordinary vehicle for Streep and could very well find her welcoming yet another well deserved Oscar nomination.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

It's a fairytale about the importance of doing what you love most, no matter what others say. [Full review in Spanish]

The most enjoyable thing of this dramatic comedy is the immense effect of grace that Meryl Streep achieves as Florence Foster Jenkins. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020

Did the movie want me to laugh at her?

| May 5, 2020

I don't know why this story necessarily needed to be told, but also, I feel like they told it in a less interesting way than it could've been told.

| May 5, 2020

The film avoids dipping [too] heavily into the traps of so many period films by keeping the proceedings efficient, light, and frequently very funny.

| Mar 31, 2020

Florence Foster Jenkins wasn't made to ask trenchant questions about the nature of art and performance. Like a $12 bottle of wine, it's meant to make you feel good.

| Feb 19, 2020

[Meryl] Streep carries the film as the eccentric eponymous character, managing to balance Florence's fragility and charm to create an empathetic character.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2019

Director [Stephen] Frears has created a beautifully done film with good costuming, street scenes of old New York and first class performances.
