Review of The Meddler (2016) by Spangle — 28 May 2016
Funny and poignant, The Meddler is a truly touching look at family, loss, and love. Featuring terrific performances from Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne, The Meddler may be a pretty typical comedy-drama, but this does not prevent the film from being a truly emotional, touching, and thoroughly enjoyable film.
What really helps to elevate the film above its conventional structure is Sarandon's phenomenal performance, as she amounts to being a one woman powerhouse in this film. Even better, the film feels truly authentic and succeeds at wringing drama and comedy out of its poignant slice of life approach.
Overall, The Meddler is a film with very well-written characters and good pacing that allows it to never bore you while also making you cry, laugh, and smile.
