Review of Ironweed (1987) by Aaron S — 02 May 2010
A masterful look at two of our best actors giving the performances of their lifetimes. Streep is particularly stunning, virtually unrecognizable behind bloodshot eyes and a haze of alcoholism. Plot-wise, the film doesn't go off on that many tangents, so that it threatens to become listless.
Thankfully though, the performances and a gorgeously bleak look at Depression-era squalor keep you glued to the screen.
