The TVI Take
Alan J. Pakula's 1982 William Styron adaptation anchored by Meryl Streep's Best Actress Oscar-winning performance as a Polish Holocaust survivor in postwar Brooklyn.
The structural commitment to letting the late-act revelation (Sophie's actual concentration-camp impossible choice) be the film's emotional payoff at register Hollywood drama typically refuses is among the most-canonical lead-actress performances in the medium's history.
