Movie Haiku:The extraordinary Meryl Streep triumphs yet again. This time, she’s a musician who turns to teaching after her husband deserts her. She’s driven & sardonic. She refuses to bend. Suddenly ghetto kids are playing at Carnegie Hall with Isaac Stern. Your eyes fill with tears. She’s made another sale.
