Starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant and directed by Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen), Florence Foster Jenkins is the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer.
The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.
