We are facing one of the greatest survivors of the Hollywood star firmament. Because at certain ages the roles are drastically reduced. unless you are by Tom Cruise for action movies or Meryl Streep for roles with substance, loaded with nuances...
With her Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts (as she was at the time Woody Allen back in 2002), the recognition to the race already has it. But I'm sure that Streep will give much more of herself in performances that make any movie a worthy work of the seventh art. I refer to the facts if we are pulling her movies during the interpretive dawn of her back in the 70s, no less...
To his credit he has leading roles in all genres, from the most moving intimate films to science fiction, where he also embroiders it with characterizations from other planets. A diva of cinema past, present and future.
Top 3 Recommended Meryl Streep Movies
The Bridges of Madison
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:The thing about dancing with the ugliest, just in case for another day. As the director of this juicy movie, Clint Eastwood chose the best possible dance partner for him. Between them they create that special climate that catches even those of us who aren't much of this type of movie.
Because the slow has a special cadence between the two. What might seem overloaded with time stretches out beautifully between glances and gestures. The story manages to tune in to that part of everyday life that concerns us all, waiting for unsuspected adventures that place us very close to all kinds of existential abysses.
In Madison County, Francesca is a housewife with a humdrum life. She lives with her husband on a farm and dedicates all her spare time to housework.

Don't look up
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Without being the absolute protagonist of this story, Meryl Streep in this acid comedy, along with Say Caprio y Jennifer Lawrence, serves so that the plot is filled with a delirious and histrionic humor like we have never seen before in the Streep. Acting in the shoes of the president of the United States, her role as Janie Orlean at the controls of the western world from the White House takes on a stratospheric dimension in the mockery and parody of our world. Something like the assumption of the apocalypse with the best of smiles in case you have to campaign in any other world to know, as the only option to save yourself from the final judgment.
Kate Dibiasky, an Astronomy graduate student, and her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy, have just discovered something as amazing as it is dangerous. An orbiting comet is in the solar system and is heading straight to collide with Earth. Despite all their attempts to warn the government and the population, it seems that humanity is willing to take it as a joke. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe, Kate and Randall will embark on a media tour that will take them from the White House to the craziest morning show on television to try to educate the world that it is about to die.
August
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:In this hilarious family story, Meryl plays the lawless matriarch left with only her deranged ego eager to undo everything. Perhaps after a life of self-sacrifice to which she now finds no meaning.
The Weston family is complex, in structure and also in intricacies. The marriage formed by Beverly Weston and his wife Violet (Meryl Streep, 'The Iron Lady') has three daughters, a granddaughter, a maid and many dirty laundry to wash. The family is preparing to spend a few days together in a vast house located in Oklahoma and they choose to do it a sweltering month: August.
Family vacations will be the opposite of an idyllic meeting. Shady and puzzling events follow one another and put each member to the test. The patriarch suddenly disappears. Violet (his wife of his), addicted to drugs, does not have a very good relationship with her daughters, especially with the eldest, Barbara (Julia Roberts, 'Snow White'), with whom he constantly argues.
The eldest daughter has been cheated on by her husband and her daughter, immersed in the most hormonal adolescence, doesn't make things any easier. A rotten cocktail, seasoned with the suffocating heat of the month, which will wear down the Weston's parental relationship, changing their future forever.
