Much like their historical counterparts, both actors are a formidable team on screen, with Hugh Grant more than keeping up with Meryl Streep.
While Florence Foster Jenkins was touted as a prestige player during last year’s awards season race, most of the attention was focused on Meryl Streep’s performance as the title character.
The actor’s portrayal of Bayfield, as he cares for Florence in her final days, all the while encouraging her dream of becoming an opera singer, is both tender and absolutely hysterical.
That’s not exactly a sin, as Streep is a power player who knows how to knock one out of the park, but there should have been a little more attention given to Hugh Grant’s role as Florence’s husband, St. Clair Bayfield.
