Too typical Hollywood, I can't get more than four stars here. All three stars here go to Adams. It's no longer a matter of aesthetic fatigue for Aunt Streep, but a disgust. I don't know if it is because of the number of Oscar nominations, but she is like the famous Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Solti. When members gradually realize that their orchestra is the best symphony orchestra in the world, they often ignore the original music and become playing for the sake of performance. Aunt Streep seems to be doing the same thing, so I'm so focused on her delicate, subtle, and playful "acting" that I forget who the characters are.
Seriously, as for Julia herself, it would drive me crazy if I put it in my life. A positive attitude towards life is of course true, but every day you get high enough to be neurotic, turning into a lady "gaga", how do people live...
