Leave your thoughts about Julia.
| Washington PostGary ArnoldDespite its gentility and evasiveness, Julia may have come much closer to the truth about Lillian Hellman on the strength of Jane Fonda's edgy, persuasive performance, which reveals an intelligent woman who couldn't feel more unsuree of herself or less like a conquering heroine. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertJulia is the story of a fascinating woman, told from the point of view of someone who hardly knew her. That is, I realize, an unkind judgment against Lillian Hellman, whose wartime memoirs provide the inspiration for the story. But this movie's problems start with its point of view, and it never quite recovers from them. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Sargent and Mr. Zinneman have amplified the story with solemn care, in good taste (which is not always desirable), and have come forth with a film that is both well-meaning and on the side of the angels but with the exception of a half-dozen scenes, lifeless. |
| User ReviewDawdlingPoetThis is a somewhat sobering watch. It's mainly a somewhat slow drama about 2 sisters who become separated when one travels to Europe and the other tries to keep in touch and to help her out. As the story develops, the context of the time its set in (the 1930s and latterly Germany) makes things seem, inevitably, more serious than it perhaps initially seemed. Its a relatively good drama, which may be somewhat thought provoking, although I wouldn't call it a particularly memorable watch but there is some interesting dialogue and the cast is ok. As a thoughtful piece of 1930s period drama, this isn't bad at all - not great but not bad. I'd recommend it if the main story really interest you, yes. |
