Rating: 4.0
A MOVIE PACKED WITH STELLAR PERFORMANCES
"Julia" is a good example of Hollywood's old school cinema (in a good sense), because this movie was designed to be carried by solid performances, the touch of a great director and a solid script. This is the kind of movie that it's hard to find in these days because there are a lot of outstanding performances, specially Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Jason Robards and Maximilian Schell.The script of this movie features a lot of social and political commentaries, but you don't have to be a political oriented person to enjoy the film. The performances are great, but some technical aspects of the movie are noteworthy as well, specially the costumes, makeup, photography, and edition.Another interesting thing in "Julia" is the use of the flashbacks. Once in a while the movie show us the past of Lillian and Julia (the main characters), all those flashbacks help the audience to understand better the background and mindsets of the characters.If you enjoy movies that showcase great performances, then you should see "Julia", the movie has a great cast and a solid and interesting script, even if you are not into politics.
