Sophie's Choice (1982)

 

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Alan J. Pakula
Starring: Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Peter MacNicol 
Running time: 151 minutes

 


Based on the novel of the same name written by William Styron, this film is the story of Polish immigrant Zofia “Sophie” Zawistowski, who hides a dark wartime secret as she shares a boarding house in Brooklyn with her on-and-off aggressive boyfriend Nathan and Stingo, an aspiring actor who moved from the South to the big city to write.

Honestly, this movie bored me to sleep over and over. I really tried to get into it, as I am a fan of Meryl Streep and this is supposed to be a classic of hers, but it was to no use. The story evolved so slowly and dragged on for so long, and I never could care about the characters. I don’t know if it was the acting or the script, but I tuned out after a while.
