Nostalgia: Meg Ryan in In the Cut (2003)

It doesn’t seem possible that this film is now almost 20 years old.

Meg Ryan was in her forties when this was lensed, and it was billed as her big breakthrough to serious dramatic acting, not to mention lower body nudity.

Here are my comments on the film, as well as on the eponymous source novel, which I preferred to the film adaptation.

Meg had done some nudity early in her career, but it was relatively modest, and ended a full decade before In the Cut.

She bared her breasts in the European version of The Presidio (1988). She was in her mid-twenties and looked great, but all we got to see was a shape, in the shadow, from the side.

She flashed her breasts ever so quickly in a sex scene in Flesh and Bone (1993).

And she exposed one lovely breast in The Doors (1991).
