Ricki And The Flash (2015, U.S.A.)

Three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep goes electric and takes on a whole new gig. She plays a hard-rocking singer/guitarist for Oscar winning director Jonathan Demme in the uplifting comedy Ricki and the Flash.

In a film loaded with music and live performances, Streep stars as Ricki. She’s 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.

Streep stars opposite her real-life daughter Mamie Gummer, who plays her fictional daughter. Rick Springfield takes on the role of a Flash member in love with Ricki. And Kevin Kline portrays Ricki’s long-suffering ex-husband.
