Finding Julia

We could not find any reviews online for this movie. Maybe that should have been a forewarning. We were the only two in the whole theater for this show which would have been fantastic if only the movie wasn't so very very bad. It was like the main actress who can't act, had her super rich and powerful daddy funding the movie and everyone involved was afraid to say no stop the madness, this does not work. My wife wanted to get up and walk out of the movie many times but I made her stay as I hoped it would get better but it only got worse, much worse. It just seemed poorly executed on every level, sound volume was all over the place, weird camera angles and bad directing.This movie could have been so much more with a better actress playing the lead character. We felt bad for Andrew McCarthy and Richard Chamberlain ending their careers with this movie. This was our first review. We signed up to hopefully save some people their valuable time and money and avoid this movie. All the other reviewers are first timers too. Seems like a bunch of FAKE Reviews to us...be interesting if anyone who has actually posted more that once writes an honest review of this thing.

1 if it's meant to be a serious film but a 10 if taken as a comedy. It's obviously a vanity project by the star/producer/writer/addanyothertitletothishyphenate. I don't blame any of the rest of cast and crew (heck, I will more so give them all props for keeping it all together as much as they possibly could), it's a stellar lineup of talent in front and behind the camera for such a small film. The main story and actor fail so miserably that it's rather entertaining seeing it as an extended SNL skit. Move over Wiseau, this town isn't big enough for the both of you!!

Good from start to finish... The leading lady can really act. I didn't want the movie to end :)

All the actors really shine in this film, a film which is buoyed along but a strong script that helps them. We watch as intensity bristles onscreen. Go see it!

There was another review I read prior to writing my own and I strongly disagree with the "other " reviewer's perspective. The director was dealing with a difficult topic and yet managed to not only capture the deep rooted complexity with sublime intensity but also with visual cinematography that further demonstrated the riveting pull and tug that existed in the daughter's mind. My suspicion is that any reviewer who denigrates this award winning director, clearly has a limited and linear mindset and the point must have gone over their head!!!
