Reviews
Big fan of this! Recommended. <em>'She-Devil'</em> offers up a pretty simple story but it's one that is portrayed in an amusing and interesting manner. Meryl Streep, Roseanne Barr and Ed Begley Jr. all give top performances, in a film that lasts a brisk 90 or so minutes. Streep and Barr are the particular standouts, I enjoyed them from the beginning to the end. Begley plays an asshole character very well, much different to my only previous experience if him as a nice guy in television's <em>'Better Call Saul'</em> some 27 years after this. Also neat to see newbie-at-the-time Lori Tan Chinn appear, albeit minutely - always like seeing actors pop up randomly in their early movie roles.
