You're left wondering where destiny will take her, and if she ever will love again or rather stand alone in fear of being abandoned.

Meryl Streep naturally brings a lot to this particular table as Baroness Karen Blixen, the source's author who ends up going to Africa with her new husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer, who makes for a surprisingly decent "antagonist" without descending into smarmy villainy).

I wish the film would've given a bit more space to Karen's relationship with Bron in the first act, or tried to expand more on her conflicts with Denys, while trimming down that tedious second act.
