The most important film and role for Julia Roberts

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2000)

I saw this movie at the urging of my sister, who was so impressed that she saw it twice. I was a little skeptical but I'm glad I saw it. Ms. Roberts literally puts her heart and soul in this film (I'm sure she was exhausted when the film wrapped) and I'm sure she will win the Golden Globe and garner an Oscar nod. Albert Finney and Aaron Eckart and the rest of the cast shine. The script and direction is sharp, dramatic with hints of dark humor, and the only complaint I really have is that the film ran a bit too long. One of the best movies of 2000!
