Review of Ironweed (1987) by Augustine H — 04 Aug 2013
Set in the era of Great Depression, Ironweed serves to disclose the hard lives of homeless, the irreparability of mistakes and redemption with unknown final consequence. Jack Nicholson is great in blending his character in Shining and About Schmidt together to place himself in destitute here; while Meryl Streep is playing with the Southern accents again to portray an alcoholic, which is probably her most socially despised role.
Unfortunately, the great duo fails to generate the sentiments to empathize me with the presence of The Grapes of Wrath.
