Plenty Ratings & Reviews
Vogue
Molly Haskell
As it moves through time and gathers intention, Plenty fulfills its promise as a sparkling masterwork as mercurial as its heroine, and one of the major word in a surprisingly strong year.
Sojourner
Kathi Maio
After watching Plenty, I wondered what the point was, since it was obvious that [writer David] Hare meant for there to be one.
TV Guide
Employing yet another flawless accent, Streep delivers an excellent, restrained but edgy performance, well supported by Dance, Sting, and Ullman, who plays her best friend.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Be a little patient: What builds beneath this quiet exterior, shot through with dark wit, is a haunting examination of the price that romantic idealism can exact.
Variety
Matt Wolf
Plenty emerges as an absorbing and fastidiously made adaptation of David Hare's acclaimed play, but also comes off as cold and ultimately unaffecting.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
The role of Susan is custom-made for Streep and she turns in yet another tour de force. ...Susan is genuinely a puzzlement... You may not like her, but you will not forget her.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
There is, possibly, a decent film in Mr. Hare's play, but not as it's been written by him and ornamentally directed by Mr. Schepisi.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Offers a highly involving anatomy of disappointment in the life of an idealistic, proud, and strong-willed woman.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The ultimate blame for the film's lack of body must lie with Streep, who never succeeds in melding the components of this showy part into an accessible characterization.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie stars Meryl Streep as Susan and it is a performance of great subtlety; it is hard to play an unbalanced, neurotic, self-destructive woman, and do it with such gentleness and charm.
