Joanna Kramer's courtroom scene outperforms Miranda Priestly's fashion empire.
The Verdict Decade Duel
This matchup has 15 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Streep has maybe fifteen minutes of screen time in Kramer vs. Kramer, and she uses them to completely rewrite the film you thought you were watching. The courtroom testimony — explaining why she left, what it cost, what she needs from the court — is Streep taking a character the audience has been trained to resent and making that resentment feel like a failure of empathy. Miranda Priestly is a more iconic creation and a more entertaining performance. But the Kramer courtroom scene is the harder acting, because Streep has to change a room's mind in real time, and she does it without a single false note. Difficulty wins over iconography.
