A 3rd remarked: “Absolutely heartbreaking. Fantastic movie, truly heartbreaking, but very well made.”
The “brutal” movie, based mostly on the best-selling e-book of the identical title by creator William Styron, tells the story of author Stingo who befriends a Polish Holocaust survivor and her unstable lover in 1947 Brooklyn.
As time passes from Stingo’s perspective, he learns all concerning the girl’s traumatic previous and the way they’ve formed and haunted her current struggles.

Sophie’s Choice is now prepared to observe totally free through ITV’s streaming service ITVX.
While film fanatics have argued in favour of each Schindler’s List and Sophie’s Choice, many consider that it’s this harrowing scene which actually makes the latter stand out.
Someone posted on Reddit: “I found this movie much more emotionally upsetting than Schindler’s List.
“It felt much more personal, there was that incredibly weird dynamic between Streep and Kline, and then her mysterious past — that revealed that her ‘choice’ was beyond brutal.”
Another echoed: “Schindler’s List to me is overall inspiring because it is focused on a positive story – albeit amidst the most horrific background – but Sophie’s Choice is personal and brutal as you said.”
Piling on the reward for “one of the best movies ever”, a fan shared: “The story telling is good and the plot twist and ending are incredible, this seems like an absolute classic.”
“Meryl Streep gives her finest performance ever as Sophie”, a fellow fan mentioned.
“In fact, her performance here is quite possibly the best movie acting that I have ever seen.”
