| Meryl Streep in One True Thing |
This summer is filled with talk about what a tear-jerker
The Fault in Our Stars is, but give me
One True Thing any day. Long before Hazel came along, Meryl Streep gave arguably her most underrated performance in this 1998 sob-fest. Her subtle performance as the caring mother in
One True Thing is the antithesis of her acid-tongued matriach in last year's
August: Osage County, so I must tip my hat to the queen of the Cancer Weepies. I hope you ring in your 65th birthday by celebrating over fifteen-years of quality plate-smashing as cancer-stricken mothers. Party hearty by starting off with a healthy plate of catfish (smash that) and then make a cherry pie for dessert (smash that too). Nobody smashes plates better than you, Meryl! Happy Birthday!
Best,
-Pat
