Streep has been a favorite of mine and she gave some really terrific performances in the late 70's and 80's. She is not however, in some of her roles, the masterclass she is made up to be. It can be like the cream on top of the milk bottle, but underneath the milk is sour and you spit it out.
To be fair, Streep's character in Doubt was sour, but this scene proves how she doesn't often act with a genuine feeling or organic sense of understanding of who she is playing, or what she is acting. It becomes almost parody like. In the presence of Davis here, she seems to flounder and she is not that believable. She is in fact quite terrible....

One of my favourite actors, Liev Schreiber, is currently appearing in a new theatre production of John Patrick Shanley's play 'Doubt, A Parable' (2004).
Liev Schreiber speaks with Seth Meyers about 'Doubt' ...

Weird how John Patrick Shanley wrote this, Moonstruck, and then ….Congo. Well Jurassic Park was a mega hit, so I guess he was hoping to recreate the magic with another Crichton-based film....and we all know how that turned out. |

The character was talking to a mother willing to pimp out her child of course anyone on the recieving end of that is going to act stunned. Meryl is overrated but that scene isn't it.
