Here's some stuff I got when I was searching up on the screening. These people are on an awards website, so they naturally talk about which awards it could when. Here he/she is talking about Meryl (mainly how big her role is, but he talks about her performance):
"Streep's role in Into the Woods is "ensemble-leadish." James Corden and Emily Blunt, along with Streep, help frame the story and they all have the most screentime. But, when I say "most," it's not by all that much when compared to Anna Kendrick, Daniel Huttlestone, and Lilla Crawford, for example.
Out of the three "leads," Streep has the biggest impact. And, when I say "biggest impact," I don't mean Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. But, it's a nice turn for Streep.
There is some subtle work (not always), and some bravura moments, but she's quite touching. If the movie makes $150M, then she's winning the C/M Globe and getting Oscar-nominated (and if this happens, it would be the smallest role to date for her in the leading category). The same could happen with less money, but not the same confidence. The
reviews should be at least in the 70s MC.."
There's also this review on the audience's favorite numbers (first screening):
"-"Agony" (audience favorite)
-"On the Steps of the Palace"
-The Opening
-The Wolf's cameo of a song with Red (who is great)
-All of Streep's
-The song at the end that wraps everything together
-Blunt's duet with Pine"
