She is the thinking man's Meryl Streep

Soooo much better than Meryl in every way yet not as praised/recognized unfortunately. She has much memorable roles (something Meryl struggles with) and is also much more versatile and with more range.

Exactly. She's superior in every way.

Better actress
More bangable
More likable as a person
Less overpraised

What's not to like?

She's great, but then so is Meryl. Why does everything have to be a competition?

She's a good actress, but what's this nonsense about not being recognized? She has a ton of awards, including 2 Oscars.

Her and Meryl are both top-notch, your comment seems both untrue and unkind.

See how two things can be true?

I am not an advocates of caparisons, but your last sentence is very valid.
