 | | Streep maintains that the baby was carried off by a dingo--a wild dog--but she winds up as the victim of a hard-hearted prosecutor and the target of a nationwide hate campaign, in part because she was a religious fundamentalist who seemed unsympathetic and, thus, became an easy target for the tabloid press. |
 | | Meryl Streep found a role well-tailored to her skills of impersonation -- as well as to her rather cold on-screen persona -- with A Cry in the Dark, the true story of Lindy Anderson, an Australian woman who was believed to have murdered her newborn child. |
 | | Streep appropriately keeps the audience at arm's length for much of the film, as it becomes clear that what's on trial is less the physical evidence in the case than Lindy's reserved personality. |
