No wonder she is considered one of the best actresses of the world. In this movie she completely blows the movie and the audience away. Her potrayal is simply amazing... that's why she won the oscar.... Full review

Sophie's Choice is a great movie. Meryl Streep did really good job as Sophie, with her Polish accent. I love Stingo's southern accent. The scenes when Sophie is in the concentration camp are so well done. She looks so sick, like... Full review

This film is all about Meryl. Without her heartbreaking, beautiful, brilliant perfoemance this movie would have gone nowhere. Her soft spoken and often times haunted Sophie is miraculous. She can with a glance bring you to tears and her monologue near... Full review

This is a weak release for an excellent film. Because Choice was such a speech-intensive film, the somewhat weak quality of the dialogue was the biggest detriment. Sophie's Choice is one of the best movies ever made. ... Full Review

Ebert wrote that the novel is about the young man's coming to terms with suffering - that angle seems somewhat glazed over here in favor of extended long takes of Streep's face, deathly pale and haunted. The flashback sequences work best, showing Streep as a young Pole trying to survive amidst the turmoil of WWII, but the rest does not - Kline's role, no matter how Styron or Pakula explain it, feels a little gimmicky (his behavior is explained, I just didn't buy it), and the picture moves forward too slowl ...
