The dramatic structure of the possible conflict lacks inspiration. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 4/4 --
So perfectly cast and well-imagined that it just takes over and happens to you. It's quite an experience.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: C --
And while Meryl Streep's performance is largely worthy of its laurels ... the film around it is much harder to forgive. Beyond Streep, Sophie's Choice is little more than a tediously assembled WWII drama of interminable length.

Streep's performance is outstanding.

Sojourner
Streep's turn...is a tour-de-force. It's a performance only she could have given -- luminous and phenomenally moving.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
The way Streep inhabits Sophie, and brings her history to life whether she's explicitly talking about the past or carrying herself across the room with wounded grace, can't help but make parts of the rest of the film seem smaller by comparison.

The Dissolve
...Streep accomplishes the near-impossible, presenting Sophie in believably human terms without losing the scale of [Styron's] invention....By turns exhilarating and heartbreaking...
New York Times
Product Description:
Faithfully adapted from Willian Styron's best-selling novel, Alan J. Pakula's handsome production charts the course of an eccentric and intense love triangle in 1947 Brooklyn, New York. Meryl Streep won an Academy Award for her carefully nuanced performance and perfect accent as Sophie, a Polish survivor of WWII concentration camps who harbors a devastating secret. The film is told through the eyes of aspiring Southern author Stingo (Emmy-nominated Peter MacNichol of TV's ALLY MCBEAL) who moves to New York and strikes a friendship with Sophie and her boyfriend Nathan--played by Kevin Kline in his debut screen role.
