Meryl Streep shows the power of a middle-aged dreamer in Stephen Frears' Florence Foster Jenkins out in cinemas today.

The film tells the wild true story of its title character, a New York socialite (Streep) who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, even though she sang terribly. Her husband St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant) kept her insulated from the reality of her lack of talent, bribing critics to favorably review the intimate concerts she gave at Manhattan nightclubs. But her genuine passion for music led her all the way to a performance at Carnegie Hall and earned her a cult following of ironic devotees. "What an antidote Florence is!" Streep tells TIME in relation to the summer’s bleak news cycle. “In dark days, we need it." Read our interview with Meryl Streep on TIME.com.
