Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Streep fans, I think you're going to enjoy this one. I know I did.
The film, a rehab job on a beached marriage, displays the most tender respect, the most exquisite tact, and yet it would be completely unwatchable -- an outright embarrassment -- with any other actors than Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep.
It's tough to come up with new superlatives for Meryl Streep, but the 63-year-old actress delivers her most frankly sexual performance yet in Hope Springs.
Streep is warm, and she's got the timing of a stand-up. Her performance demands you bat for her woman.
