Limit point I watched this crime drama solely because of Tilda Swinton, who plays the main role in this film. The audience and critics can once again see the chic and stunning performance of this unusual actress. Swinton is a master of complex and controversial roles. In this film, the actress reveals herself to the fullest under a difficult and out of the ordinary story.
We see Julia. She's an alcoholic and a loser. At almost 50 years old, a woman has nothing behind her soul. She loses her job, lives a nightlife, drinks and changes men. Having reached the point of limit, Julia decides to go on an incredible adventure. She helps a mentally ill mother steal her child, but she decides to get a ransom for him, thereby getting into a frenzied and dangerous story.
The drama was tough, but refined. It looks psychological, and its main advantages are the truthful atmosphere and the play of actors. Director Eric Zonka makes his film and fiercely, dramatically, frankly and with deep thought. The main character is controversial, but the viewer goes with her to the very end, and all this thanks to the game Tilda Swinton. That was just her role. I can’t even imagine another actress in Julia’s place.
The movie looks fierce and tense, but the picture is life-affirming, and in my opinion, the perfect ending. You feel peace of mind and some kind of world of the main character. What does loneliness, lack of money, hopelessness push people to do? It is scary, and the story in which the main character was also terrible. After watching this film, his story remains a stain in the memory, and it will not be easy to forget.
Julia is a criminal, psychological drama with a flavor of the 2008 thriller. The movie is for a narrow category of viewers, but it is for me. I appreciated this drama and the game Swinton, too. I say yes to the movie and bravo!
