Movie Title: Florence Foster Jenkins
I can really relate to Florence, however. My singing voice is terrible, but I love music. How wonderful it would be to have something beautiful come out of my mouth when I sing.
- “Music matters.” – Florence Foster Jenkins
- “Music has been, and is, my life.” – Florence
- Money can buy an awful lot.
- Supportive kindness, friendship, and loyalty.
- Oh, to dream.
- There’s more to stardom than talent. Of course, reality TV has already taught us that.
- It was fun to watch Florence’s passionate reactions when she listened to music.
- Fans of the Big Bang Theory will get a kick out of Simon Helberg playing pianist Cosme McMoon. His facial expressions are picture perfect. His performance exceeds expectations and is sure to secure more spots on the Big Screen.
- Hugh Grant gives a mature and tender performance as Florence’s devoted, yet unfaithful husband, St. Clair Bayfield. I love how he dotes on her, calls her “Bunny”, and makes her feel like she is truly loved and treasured.
- Bathtub full of potato salad. Ha ha
- It’s actually hard to sing badly. Meryl Streep seems to relish in those moments. I loved Meryl’s singing at the very end.
- You get to hear the voice of the real Florence during the closing credits, as well as see some pictures of what she looked like.
- You will hear some truly terrible singing. It can start to really grate on you and tear you down with weary.
- It’s slow-moving.
- Such ridiculous excess and self-indulgence.
- “The lady is a lesson in fidelity and courage and that’s why we love her.” – Chrisitan McKay (Earl Wilson)
- “Yours is the truest voice I have ever heard.” – St. Clair
- “People may say I couldn’t sing, but no one will say I didn’t sing.” – Florence
Funny lines:
- “The Verdi lunch always begins with a soup. You know that! How could we begin the lunch without a soup? There would be a riot!” – Florence
- Most kids will be insanely bored.
- Some profanity.
- Discussion of infidelity.
