MCT:September 20, 2008Really excellently made, and just plain fun. The story is enthralling and witty, and Annette Bening plays a diva like no other. She just lights up the screen. A fabulously played out denoument, too.

This film is an anomilly because it displays the beautiful Benning acting her ...oh no ...age. It shows how everything in your life can be going right but the pizazz is gone. With youth comes reckless impulses, iressponsiblity, immatureness but one thing is for sure lust, is ageless. Whether Julia lusted Tom was not the question she lusted what he stood for. Bening is great. the film I thought was going to be more sinnister in the ending of Julia's plan but it was just crappy.

MCT:June 9, 2008Annette Bening is astonishing! This is such an elegant, artistic portrait of a diva wannabe. Very nicely made...

Annette Bening's performance is superb, and the supporting cast, especially Jeremy Irons is worth watching.

The next best thing to love is a brilliantly designed revenge! Annette Bening shines at 'Being Julia'. An stage actress in 1930s London married to a director (be still my heart Jeremy Irons) and having a lil "romp" with a young American. (and the plot thickens) Starts a little slow but worth the wait for the most glorious ending. Annette is just beautiful & a thing to behold in this film. Like the part she plays as Julia, this my friends is all about her.

it has its flaws thank s to a boring script but it is elavted thanks to two wonderful perofrmances from annette benning and jeremy irons who have greta chemistry together and are two good thespian actors and some decent direction. Its benning that makes this peice of fluff worth watching.

It's got great production design and an interesting story, and that's what saves it from totally sucking. God knows it ain't Bening.

Annettte shines in this,her brtish accent,her look is on the mark,Waht a story,love how she has aged well,

The denouement depended upon Julia humiliating her rival in a way which is not possible in the real world. Otherwise, very good.
-

I liked that Julia was played by an American faking a British accent. And that her young lover was played by an Irish guy faking an American accent. Very strange.

I love this movie. It's not for everyone though, but the character development here is amazing, and it's very funny for people who enjoy a more traditional story. The acting is splendid here, particularly from Annette Bening and Michael Gambon. The ending definitely keeps you smiling as well.

Being Julia is a smartly written movie about an actress and her way threw her relations in middle age. To start talking i'll begin with the best thing in this movie which is Annette Bening's AMAZING performence! Even if you don't like watching this kind of movies, watching annette bening acting here is a feast for every moviegoer. She wasn't even acting, she was so natural you forget you are watching a movie and feel that you're sitting with her. And the last theatre scene she was marvellous. As for the screenplay, it was fairly written. You feel the developement of julia's character throughout the movie and the ending is really surprising and the character of julia was one of the best ever written.

A standing ovation for Annette's portrayal of a catty and unstable theatre tart. Love it love it love it!!
-
MCT:June 20, 2006the full score is to the oustaning performance of bening! and, i also think the girl who plays avice is good, lets see, her name is lucy punch.
-
MCT:June 4, 2006Actually, I did not like the movie... But I was impressed by the acting that Bening has... Why she lose to Hilary Swank?
