(1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "Swinton is mesmerising as a messed-up drunk."   Eye for Film   Amber Wilkinson 4/5 "It is no easier to warm to Zonca's film than to its central character - but it is impossible to take your eyes off either. Amoral, at times brutal, and full of surprises..."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 3.5/5 "a tonally-consistent, lively thriller that is very much of the filmmaker's own little corner of the world"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C+ ""Julia" is more than an homage to John Cassavetes' 1980 maternal crime thriller "Gloria;" it is a spectacularly flawed genre experiment that goes so wrong, and with such an intense fury, that you can't pull yourself away from it."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Julia is a mix of fantasy and tragedy, with the violence amped up and the background noisy and lurid."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "A bungled thriller that starts out badly and never recovers."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 84/100 "Julia is at once a marvel of screen acting, an unthinkably black comedy, and one of the few truly nail-biting suspense films to emerge this decade."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 3.5/4 "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."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 6/10 "It's largely Tilda Swinton's presence that saves Julia from itself."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
