Do you mean an exact list? I don't think it's that hidden, though it may be a hassle to find out who's a member. But overall, it's about 120 people.

I thought Streep was brilliant in Doubt, and obviously brilliant from her debut through Adaptation....but most of the rest of this millennium since then, eh. Too showy for me. This looks like a butchering of a great show.

LOL, they suck her cock every year.

Cinemascore might just poll the HFP each weekend.

LOL reviews of Meryl in Sausage County are hilarious.

 

"If she were a Batman villain, she'd be called The Actress."

 

"all of whom proceed to poke at or ignore one another when they're not pouring all their energy into avoiding Streep's Eye of Sauron at the head of the dinner table."

 

"Some of her fellow actors are resourceful enough to reconstruct themselves after being obliterated."

Eye of Sauron

[Hatebox]

Looking at Streep's IMDB, she must be one of the most acclaimed actors to never star in a universally accepted-as-a-classic movie. Maybe Kramer vs Kramer if you were feeling generous.

Maybe the Deer Hunter?

Deer Hunter is one of my favourites but there seems to be a whole bunch of people who hate it, so idk.

The Deer Hunter is a classic movie? (I don't know why it wouldn't be. It's socially relevant, masterfully made, critically acclaimed, historically significant and all that jazz.) 

 

And i've been away on Vacation since the 24th so yeah, I haven't had time to post here yet. BUT SHE IS AMAZING. THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATEST STREEP PERFORMANCES. Oh my god she is fantastic. I mean the way she just destroys everything in her path, as her character does, is just masterful. She's just the epitome of perfection though admittedly it isn't my favourite of the year. It's a bit like 2006 with the Devil Wears Prada in which Streep gave a perfect performance but something else beyond divine comes along which in 2006 was Helen Mirren in The Queen. (now that might just be one of the top 5 greatest female lead performances ever along with Sophie (Streep), Norma (Swanson), Anne (Riva), and Erika (Huppert).)  

 

Everyone else is just wrong.

.............. oh jesus.

A very frustrating film. There's elements of great scenes and performances from Streep, Roberts and Martindale, but none of them blend together and the whole endeavor never feels like a movie. There's a ton of BIG scenes with IMPORTANCE and MELANCHOLY but my guess is that this play never should have been adapted into a movie. It's just suffocating.

I liked the Deer Hunter, and some love it, but I get the impression it isn't considered to have held up as well as some of its contemporaries. Almost everyone agrees that it's far too long.

[Jack Nevada]

It's okay. Nothing too memorable but nothing to get upset over either. I'm sure it's a riot on stage but it doesn't really come across here. Liked Roberts and a few other actors. 

 

3/5

Streep is simply boring. She picks roles solely for awards and is consistently hammy. The best best actors are those who do all kinds of films and come across natural in their roles.The Iron Lady?LMAO.
