Tilda Swinton is a beast. Performance of the year thus far, and almost certainly unlikely to be topped. Put this alongside anything else she's ever done and you will be stunned by the radical differences; normally asked to be (or at the very least appear to be) stately and compos...( read more)
Tilda Swinton is excellent in this...kind of like a new-age Bad Lieutenant with Tilda going from one smoking and drinking binge to another until she agrees to kidnap a lady's son and deliver him to his multi-millionnaire grandfather from $2 million. The movie starts off interesti...( read more)
Extremely long and exhausting, highly unlikely, complicated and over the top. Tilda Swinton is fantastic every minute of it. The movie had some strength into it -proving that human nature is alterable and the human heart open to accepting love, but after a point it became ridicul...( read more)
Swinton bids for Oscar glory playing a walking car crash alcoholic pathological liar. Character building first half leads in to a less satisfactory kidnap thriller which is rather drawn out and overly contrived. The developing relationship between Swinton and her young kidnapee i...( read more)
This would be five stars off the charts awesome if all it was about was Tilda Swinton's acting, but it's not. The story starts off pretty well and sets the agenda for making you accept that things won't always make sense or go according to plan but then the second half veers off ...( read more)
One of the most smart and well written screenplays I've seen in a long time. Swinton deserves an oscar for her performance.
Swinton's acting is amazing reaching the highs and lows of a car crash lifestlye. The plot lacks some credibility, as even a perpetual drunk with little or no moral fibre, wouldnt buy into some of the scenarios that were offered to her. A touch too long and dips into terminal dep...( read more)
Good become a sentimental movie , but it did not come so far, disepointent.
Swinton busts loose (bout time!) and you do NOT know what is going to happen from moment to moment in this flick - can't say that so often any more.
while the movie have good resenties , it good not involve me into the storie .
A nerve-wracking thriller with a twisty plot and startling realism. full review
Zonca's Julia is a difficult movie to stomach, but entirely worth the emotional unrest it puts through you. full review
Picture Fargo played with no sense of comedy, and you'll get some idea of the absurdity of this drunken floozy, clicking and wobbling on high heels, often with bits of her anatomy hanging out, trying ... full review
Zonca's story is an unruly beast, lurching this way and that like a biker hopped up on mescaline and paint thinner, its unpredictable rowdiness in sync with its out-of-control protagonist. full review
Unfortunately the Cassevetes-style film needed Cassavetes to make it. Zonca, essaying a pell-mell verismo, produces something resembling Gloria mugged by A Woman Under the Influence. full review
well my brother was working with a friend of his in the filmation of this film and i think that this movie is going to be very good beside tilda is a great actress :]
