Is Rosamund Pike this generation’s Meryl Streep?

I just saw Hostiles, with Christian Bale, and Pike, lamenting her deceased children. She reminded me of Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice. She’s in a lot of flicks these days, and has that same demure strength. A very convincing actor…or a big phony?

No. For a better comparison with Streep, think Emma Thompson or Dame Judi Dench.

It’s a tough movie to watch, but I think that Streep’s best movie is Sophie’s Choice.

Olivia Colman is the best modern Meryl Streep comparison

I am always surprised when I see her in a dramatic role. And I wonder: is the a gag reel?
