I stumbled across this video and clicked immediately when I saw Kidman and Streep on the same screen and they did not disappoint. Two of the greatest leading ladies in business today (Hedy Lamarr is still the GOAT)
I didn't think so. I felt like I was watching all the characters of Big Little Lies and then Meryl Streep who had come in for season 2, put on fake teeth, a wig and tried to be as annoying as she could be without any real depth or character development.
@@bringiton5282 Sounds like you have a problem with Meryl Streep. She's never taken on any role where she's just put on a costume and tried to be as annoying as she could. And she's never performed any role or developed any character without any real depth. Her career, her many roles, and her many awards, accolades, and the wholesale respect of her peers say you are incorrect.
@@patricelockertanthony7630 I had a problem with Mary Louise, she had no depth whatsoever to her, she was only annoying and felt very gimmicky. The fact is you can be great and still put on a bad performance and I think it's partly down on the writing. You sound like one of those zealous fans who say Meryl can't do no wrong. I don't care about awards and accolades, I have my own feelings, I make my own opinion. Big Little Lies's Mary Louise is not Meryl Streep's Mary Louise. One is a character, the other a person. I loved season 1, I didn't like season 2 because of Meryl's Mary Louise. She felt more like a plot device than an actual character. Even her backstory fell flat to me and with that one, it had to do with the acting.
I worked on this set many moons ago. I built finish detail elements of the judges bench and the witness stand so it was a real treat to watch such phenomenal performances on something I made😊
@@SmcdMcd-d2k thank you. The designers went up to a courthouse in Monterey to match an exterior to the entrance hallway we built outside the courtroom, but I believe everything inside the courtroom was created out of whole cloth. It was fascinating to hang around while those two shot their scenes. There were dozens of people that no one had ever seen before who just wanted to be watching them do take after take. ❤
No. Celeste killed this. Perfection. A brilliant attorney and an extraordinary woman. She had this planned down to the tiniest detail. And she knew exactly how it would go down.
Any production that has Meryl Streep in the credits is automatically elevated just by her presence. She had guest appearances on 'Only Murders in the Building' and upon arrival she gifted it a certain gravitas. Whenever she's on the screen, there's nothing else I can do but stop and stare. Her talent is awe-inspiring.
Anyone who knows me knows that I've idolised Meryl Streep for decades. And in this series she was again so incredibly brilliant. I hated her and that just goes to show how terrific her acting is. ❤️🔥
OMG, as the mother-in-law, she was the absolute worst. And yet Meryl Streep somehow managed to make the character both loathsome and yet almost sympathetic. At least, Streep didn't just play a one-dimensional villain who was introduced to wreak havoc in the second season. She was also a woman, a mother struggling with her own inner demons. The only difference between her daughter-in-law and herself was that Celeste was more self-destructive, whereas Mary Louse was more externally problematic.
Can i share a controversial opinion that the first season was way more thrilling than the second one? The whodunnit and the dangerous situations and the soundtrack of the first season were so captivating. Just watching jane chapman or jane and celeste and madeline run is more beautiful than the second season? And that final episode. Heart in throat kind of experience.
I been a fan of Mrs Streep since The Deer Hunter. I followed her career in awe, believing I was the only one who knew this powerfull performer. I remember watching again and again Sophies Choice. The beautifull painfull close ups Nestor Almendros RIP made of her face. Sometimes I think I seen It all. But she's a genius. Nothing shorter than that. The moment she break on the stand got me off guard. So good, so perfect, so unexpected. And that's new. I didn't know Meryl could do that. And that's amazing. She's still growing. Like a three. Tall, strong, wise. I adore this woman. She's a miracle.
It’s unfortunate that the series was canceled, but the cast and crew agreed it wouldn’t be the same with the passing of the director and his vision for the show.
@@houstonej105 There might be another season, according to Nicole Kidman. But it hasn't been confirmed by anyone other than her. So I guess we will see.
@@VeronicaBaughmanReese has been quoted as saying they are "hard at work" on it but who knows what that actually means. I assume that means the development phase. As far as I know there has been no filming or even a script yet. Hopefully there will be something more concrete in the near future.
You have to stop and observe Merryl Streep as she plays Mary Louise on a witness stand unable to manipulate the situation. The learned behavior of a kind old grandmother with the best of intent is crumbling as she is now faced with the truth behind her lies. She is incensed that her role as a mother is now in question. She cannot believe that she is now being forced to look at her own accountability or lack of it when dealing with the past. Her reaction to being forced to answer questions buried in her depraved past reveals the core hate within.
AFI Lifetime Award made me rewatch this - among dozens of clips where Kidman excels - and I can't believe I JUST realised how this cross-examination is sort of a mirror, a feminine version of another forever famous courtroom scene... Here we have the GOAT Streep being drawn into the light by the seemingly weaker Kidman. A few years ago, then almost a newbie Cruise destroyed the male GOAT Nicholson in A Few Good Men... Perfect bookends.
Poetic justice in this scene, not only because Mary Louise is finally exposed but also because Celeste gets to demonstrate her expertise as a lawyer, which her abusive husband wouldn’t allow.
I think it’s a good move to not use your real name when you comment on lawyer films that don’t use the abused children of lawyers to play the lawyers in the films. Can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen get killed or at least get their teeth knocked out for stealing from the hand that feeds them.
It was a limited series, originally supposed to have only one season but they decided to do a second. After their series director passed away they decided not to continue with a third season
I enjoyed season 2 better than season 1 and that is solely due to the presence of the unfathomable talent of Ms streep and no scene showed it off better than this one. I wish they hadn't cut it off.
@@sammy9021 it was supposed to have an extra season, but it has been DIFFICULT getting the talented performers together for a 3rd season because of their CONFLICTING SCHEDULES.
"Indecent or not, this case is about mothering" And she MOTHERED so hard in that examination.
Lol....if this season came out in 2023, that line would've blown up on twitter.....
I as a child would prefer to have decend mother instead indecent...
they're having a mother off
I wish Americans would speak English 🙄
@@notknown6605 OH BROTHER! HERE COMES THE FUN POLICE
The acting dynamics between Meryl and Nicole was awesome. It looked like they were truly Celeste and Mary Louise.

In fact, Meryl Streep IS Mary Louise (that's her birth name). Meryl is a combining of Mary and Louise.

wow.
Seeing two of my favourite actresses sparring and delivering fine work? What a treat. ❤❤❤
Such a great scene!
One of those moments in life where you say to yourself “OK, you forced my hand, this hurts me more than it hurts you.“
Hatts off to Nicole and Meryl for this brilliant performance! Bravo!!!
THIS is a case study of two brilliantly talented women actors.

"Indecent or not, this case is about mothering." Wow what delivery. I am in awe of Nicole Kidman in this series.
Meryl Streep does more with just her face than anyone actor or actress out there, She's amazing - period.
I just stumbled upon this clip during my daily UA-cam rabbit hole routine and now I'm gonna watch the whole series. What a clip. What an acting. 😮
It is sooo good. Season 3 will be coming in the near future
@@OMguyhaitwhat???? I didn't know they got ok'd for a third!!!
This same exact thing happened to me im currently on season 1 e6 and it's goodddddddd I highly recommend if ypu haven't started yet
Watched it. Just one word -AMAZING.
It's really good.
This is one of the best things HBO has produced recently.
I still think about this series very often. Idk what it is but it was just so real and different from anything out there.
I agree. I’ve watched the whole thing probably 5 times now.
You will like sharp objects or nine perfect strangers

Has that final season started or finished yet? I just saw pics of the bts yet never am official release date.
Indeed, she is an American treasure
I agree.
She is the best. Since. Ever. :)
I miss this series truly iconic for how short it was. Matter fact let me just go ahead and rewatch.
They are planning a 3rd season
@SaraShakur94 is that still happening? Heard that a while ago but then radio silence 🤷♀️
One of the best series ever made, an absolute masterpiece in every aspect.
The cast for this show are to die for...... how many TV shows have as many Oscar nominated and Oscar winning actors in them!

Btw Renata is my favorite🙂
Seriously ?? When exactly and where ??
@@vybhaveswaraiah7114 Two days ago during an interview. Just google it.

Yeah, when? Because we're still waiting 😞

Such talented actors both of them are. Respect!
God streep is a master at character study...Jesus she's brilliant!!
The idela that the same actress played the mother-in-law and Margaret Thatcher is astounding.
so different in demeanor!
Am glad that a third season is coming!
On God
Yay🎉

what a masterclass in acting by these two
They are both goooood.
3:19 Me when I get in touch with the pain that has been numbed out by my system for long. Avoidant attachment style
I miss this show 😭😭😭
The fluttering, myopic birdlike body language of Meryl is *fascinating* to watch....
You know when great acting is just top 👌
What a great show and AMAZING cast!
As usual, Streep owned the scene.
Mother Kidman was mothering
My goodness..as an actor, as a human..this exchange is a rich study.
Great actors. I was spellbound.
I love this tv show so much ❤

I gotta rewatch this series.
Their acting was A+mazing
What a cast! Amazing female actresses!
Season 1 was about the intrigue and mystery, season 2 about the performances.
they both are phenomenal actress. marvelous performance by Meryl as always. I wonder if she has ever given a bad performance in her life?
That was a really good seen I wish the series had continued.
I'm still not over the fact that the series is not going to have a 3rd season.
@@rithondit actually might have one. According to Nicole Kidman
Didn't they announce a third season?
They are!
No they arnt the whole cast agreed not to continue because it wouldn’t feel the same after the director died
As good as EVERYONE was in this show, Meryl's potrayal of Mary was STELLAR. I HATED her to her core but had sympathy for her at the same time
Truly a Masterclass of Legends!
Meryl you shut up now! thats exactly was my response when i was watching the show! sweet sweet redemption.
We want a season 3!!
We're getting one! Nicole pretty much confirmed it recently.
@@imjuliewatersnot after the directors death

Love Nicole. Love Meryl.
Whooo 👏🏻 this scene.
How many best or supporting actress Oscars between this whole cast? 5? 6? Amazing show.

Great amazing superb acting
Great acting is when you have no idea what the context is about but you felt the tension
