Streep’s Mary Louise is a classic study in characterization by a master actress and scene-stealer. Photo: HBO Meryl Streep will probably win an Emmy for her work as Mary Louise Wright on season two of Big Little Lies, because she’s Meryl Streep, and everyone loves giving awards to Meryl Streep. On top of which, she’s Meryl Streep, which means she’s someone who deserves to keep winning awards, because she’s always impressive even when the material isn’t.
Season two, which brought in Andrea Arnold as sole director and then allegedly redid her work to make it more consistent with Vallee’s in season one, couldn’t help but feel like an attempt to artificially extend a story that had reached a dramatically satisfying stopping point.
Mary Louise’s manner kept whoever she was talking to off-balance because they couldn’t always figure out if she was really out to get them or if it was just their imagination. Even her flustered apologies and preemptive admissions that she was intruding only seemed to certify that this was a bulldozer of a woman who was going to roll right over you unless you ran away quickly or found a way to gum up the treads.
