This tragicomedy focuses on the sibling relationship between Streep’s Lee and Diane Keaton’s Bessie as they deal with their dying father (and Lee’s rebellious son played by the young Leo DiCaprio). Streep and Keaton, in their different styles, find ways to make Lee and Bessie into much more than the expression of their problems. Streep once again must play the Serious Sister — a role that we’re tired of watching her play. It’s a classic film about mending broken relationships before it’s too late. And it goes without saying, it’s a tearjerker.
