It's all in such good taste that it's downright stupefying.

Top CriticBeautifully crafted, nominated for nine Academy Awards, a big hit at the box office -- and a dramatic dud.

Top CriticThe period environment, brilliantly recreated in production design, costuming and color processing, complements the topflight performances and direction.

Hansomely mounted but superficially written and directed, Julia lacks dramatic focus, a result of confusion as to what exactly Lillian Hellman's memory text is about and also too many jumps in the story's timeframe, with flashbacks within flashbacks.

Lillian Hellman's tight autobiographical story about memory and friendship gets the full Zinnemann gloss-wash.

Top CriticAn understatedly suspenseful drama with both Fonda and Redgrave giving impassioned performances.

Fascinating, well structured drama with Fonda and Redgrave at their best.

Top CriticPowerful story with superb performances.

Julia gives us a genuine and affecting portrait of a friendship between two women who confirm each other and strengthen their bonds over the years.

Um dos mistérios do Oscar, que, além de premiar uma atuação banal de Robards, indicou este filme apenas mediano em 10 outras categorias. Marcou a estréia de Streep nas telas.
