Admirably off-putting performance by Streep in a reasonably involving Australian court drama.

A poignant family-in-crisis drama aided by spectacular performances from Streep and Neill.

Streep is a sensation....haunting stuff

The powerful performances and sharp script augment this revealing human drama.

Remarkably even-handed; Streep's much-touted performance distracts.

Streep ... plays Lindy Chamberlain with the kind of virtuosity that seems to redefine the possibilities of screen acting.

Meryl Streep gives another stellar performance in this fact-based Australian drama about a working class woman accused of killing her daughter.

Streep's beauty and talent and director Fred Schepisi's intelligence are both shown to best advantage, without easy points or grandstanding.

Streep -- yes, with another perfect accent -- brings her customary skillfulness to the part. It's not a showy performance, but the heroine's internal struggle seems to come from the actress' pores.

Streep's performance is risky, and masterful.

Streep (the best thing she has done in ages) carries it along.

Streep and Neill are the film's perfectly matched thoroughbreds. But the film is neither a double star turn nor the best kind of courtroom drama; it is a sort of epic mosaic of national character.
