As both the titular heroine and the modern-day actress (Sarah) playing her, Streep astonishes us with her ability to completely immerse herself in dual roles. Yet it&#8217;s Anna &#8212; the &#8220;French lieutenant&#8217;s woman&#8221; &#8212; who ultimately captures our interest most keenly; she&#8217;s far more complex &#8212; and intriguing &#8212; than one would have imagined. Jeremy Irons, with his perennially concerned expression, is appropriately cast as Anna&#8217;s forlorn suitor, and the supporting cast members are all effective as well &#8212; but it&#8217;s Streep we&#8217;re really watching and waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>Playwright Harold Pinter wrote the film&#8217;s screenplay, adding the parallel love story set in modern times in an attempt to provide a latter-day commentary. While it&#8217;s ultimately unnecessary, it never detracts from the power of the primary story, and remains a clever narrative device. Yet it&#8217;s the historical drama which holds the most interest, as we anxiously await the outcome of Irons&#8217; doomed attraction. Fortunately, we&#8217;re rewarded for our patience: the plot takes unexpected twists and turns, and, like any good romantic mystery, makes us question what&#8217;s come before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meryl Streep&#8217;s wonderful performance(s)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Streep-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Jeremy Irons as the fatally love-struck Charles<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Irons-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Beautifully evoked period detail<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Period-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Effective use of natural settings to convey the turmoil of Charles and Sara&#8217;s burgeoning romance<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/French-Lieutenants-Woman-Nature-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, for Streep&#8217;s standout performance<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noteworthy Performance(s)<\/li>\n<li>Oscar Winner or Nominee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0082416\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1981\/09\/18\/movies\/the-french-lieutenant-s-woman.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/the-french-lieutenants-woman-1981\">Roger Ebert&#8217;s Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I have set myself beyond the pale.
