Description
From acclaimed director Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) comes this hilarious and heart-warming true story of an heiress and socialite who dared to follow her dreams. In 1940's New York, Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep: The Iron Lady) aspires to become a great opera singer, blissfully unaware that she can barely hold a tune. Her devoted husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant: About a Boy) has protected her from ridicule for years. But when Florence decides to give a performance at Carnegie Hall, St Clair knows he'll face his greatest challenge yet. Funny, moving and featuring a brilliant performance from three-time Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins is a fitting tribute to an irrepressible diva whose passion for music was matched only by her determination to share it with the world.
