Julia Roberts Best Performance!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2000)

Yes, Erin Brockovich is your basic run-of-the-mill "David & Goliath" story of the lone hero (Julia in this case) who goes up against the evil monster (PG&E). Where this story differs though is simply in the performances and how real it makes the characters seem. You absolutely feel for these people not only because we know it actually happened but also because they make you feel like it's really happening to them. Julia Roberts gives her best performance to date by playing this woman honestly. I'm so glad they didn't try to gloss Erin up by making her seem to good to be true. They simply made her a woman of flesh and blood, good and bad. Kudos for all involved in what is the absolute best film of 2000 so far. Great job!!
