Dancing at Lughnasa

DIRECTED BY: Pat O'Connor

REVIEWED: 01-25-99

None of our reviewers can stand to even be in the same multiplex as a Meryl Streep film, so we didn't check this one out first hand. We understand it's set in 1930s Ireland and involves Streep playing one of a group of unmarried sisters awaiting the return of their brother from Africa. I'm guessing that other critics will use the words "poignant" and "affecting" in their reviews, and that Streep will add a fanciful brogue to her catalogue of incompetently executed accents. I get the creeps just thinking about it.
