I recommend watching Florence Foster Jenkins: A World of Her Own before you see this movie; it basically is a documentary on Florence and just how delusional she was and how the people around her basically took her money by giving her praise. I did enjoy this movie with Streep (and I am not 60+ years old). This movie was good, it stays true to Florence's character since that was just how she was; she's KNOWN to be the world's worst opera singer and the movie delivers in showing that and showing her iconic moment of selling out Carnegie Hall. It's silly and touching at times. If you're in the mood to learn a little bit and have a few laughs, I recommend this movie. If you want to know more about FFJ before seeing this movie, watch the documentary.

"Florence Foster Jenkins" hits the high notes with the costumes, the 1940's setting, story, and the warmhearted elements of the film. Especially the performance from Meryl Streep and Simon Helberg who were both excellent in the movie. But Hugh Grant I thought was the most emotional part of the film. He carries the film and this might be his best performance. Unfortunately, this is Stephen Frears least accomplished and weakest movie. Bad editing, energy was lacking, and the film making isn't that special. A decent film with three knock out performances.

Oh I felt in love with Florence & St. Clair. Meryl Streep did it again! BRAVO!! Hugh Grant was amazing too! Cosmé was adorable! The way he laugh was cute. Is really entertaining. So fresh.

This was definitely one of my highlights for 2016! The movie was extremely funny and romantic as well as sad at the same time. The music was, as expected, horrible but it was such amazing acting from all sides. The setting was amazing and I just loved this movie!

This movie wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Although the acting and sceneries were absolutely perfect, the storyline was a bit disappointing. I got a bit bored and there was a bit to much singing for my liking. Those two are the only things that kind of bothered my throughout the movie.

**One of the best and most elegant comedies I've seen in recent times. Bravo! Bravíssimo!**

There aren't enough adjectives for someone like Florence Foster Jenkins. On the one hand, it's beautiful to see someone who doggedly pursues the dream of a lifetime. On the other hand, the technical incap More
