Didn't you love the use of shape note singing! Very effective. As, too, was Ms. Kidman whose restrained use of dialect offended not my Southern ear. This Aussie was able to do what, I doubt, a Yankee actress could have: convince me. (Maybe Streep could. "I had a fawm in Afwica.")If you found the subject matter interesting, tinear, read "None Shall Look Back" by Caroline Gordon, one of the South's finest writers.
Follow Ups:
Two words: Katherine Hepburn -- with a voice coach.
still the role went to Vivien Leigh (a Brit) the only actress that they say came close to the character other than Leigh was Paulette Goddard... While I agree that KH was a great actress, she is not in the same league with Streep in terms of character development. Certainly in terms of breadth of work Hepburn wins...
SHE DAID.
