Marvins Töchter (1996)

Marvins Töchter: Directed by Jerry Zaks. With Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro. After seventeen years, a fiercely independent woman and her rebellious son return home and together they turn the family she left behind upside down.

“This movie should be reviewed for its great performances from some of the best actors today. Meryl Streep does not fail to shine out as one of the best actresses of all time as an emotionally distraught mother in this tale of hopes, emotions and intense feelings. Keaton, on the other hand portrays her best performance ever, and Leonardo DiCaprio proves that he has talents besides being a heartthrob. This movie really moved me, not because of the story itself but the acting was very realistic….I believe that they all should have received an Oscar nomination. Well done!”
