    Julia

    by Innovator

    Tilda Swinton at her best gives an outstanding performance in a dark, adventure, which requires an effort to watch, but worth it. Even she remarked during a Q&A that it was difficult for her to watch. The film has been pared down from 4 hours, but still has many twists and turns that compel you to stay with the story.

    She plays an alcoholic who is able to stay one step from destruction with clever deception, and a different story for each situation. The young boy who was 9 at the time is very credible, and gives a wonderful performance.

    An interesting investigation of an alcoholic woman seldom seen on screen as the protagonist.

    Julia

    by Jim F

    Tilda Swinton gives a career performance in the title role of Eric Zonca's wild and crazy film, the most lunatic good film in recent memory, and even though I grudgingly acknowledge some of the flaws critics and viewers have found with the film (and at one point I thought maybe I should be calling 911 on the director for an unacceptable use of violent suggestion), this film ultimately becomes a moving and humane drama, and a daring one as well. It's the kind of film "Rachel Getting Married should have been, and couldn't, and perfectly epitomizes for me why I go to movies.
