Directed by Stephen Frears and written by Nicolas Martin, "Florence Foster Jenkins" (Meryl Streep) tells the story about a wealthy heiress: an aspiring opera singer who often sings out of tune in front of her friends in small salons and recital halls. But when Florence decided to give a public performance at Carnegie Hall, her partner and manager, St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), knows instantly that he's about to face his biggest challenge.

Besides Streep and Grant, the film also stars Simon Helberg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Nina Arianda.
