Movie Haiku:Can technique triumph over repugnant material? There’s a sour taste to this story that undercuts the cast including Kevin Kline in the thankless role of Nathan. And yet, Meryl Streep is so compelling that you WANT to believe that Sophie’s inner life is much richer than her author ever imagined.
