Three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep (Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady, Kramer vs Kramer) goes electric and takes on a whole new gig – a hard-rocking singer/guitarist – for Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme (The Silence Of The Lambs) and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody in the uplifting comedy Ricki and the Flash.
In a film loaded with music and live performance, Meryl Streep stars as Ricki, a guitar heroine who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom, but is now returning home to make things right with her family.
Meryl Streep stars opposite her real-life daughter Mamie Gummer, who plays her fictional daughter; Rick Springfield, who takes on the role of a Flash member in love with Ricki; and Kevin Kline, who portrays Ricki’s long-suffering ex-husband.
Meryl Streep goes for her 20th acting Oscar nomination for her role in Ricki And The Flash.
