In this one Streep is outplayed by Frot in Marguerite (2015)
I found the movie quite average. Maybe it takes less liberties at the facts behind, but as result the movie IMO lacks of an catching story. Also the presence of Meryl Streep is of no help here, for once a quite unconvincing performance. The very same story about Jenkins, with some adaptations however, was took up in the french movie Marguerite (2015). Where Catherine Frot delivered a much more appealing acting, as well as that movie was better scripted and more entertaining.
