Florence Foster Jenkins looks like a period drama mixed with alleged comedy that comes across as exciting as looking forward to the next time I trap my fingers in a door.
Meryl Streep plays the titular heroine, a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice. Along the way, she romances Hugh Grant as St Clair Bayfield, and the film also stars Rebecca Ferguson (Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation), Simon Helberg and Neve Gachev.
It looks terrible and it also rips off the equally terrible Marguerite.
Florence Foster Jenkins is released in the UK on May 6th.
