This is a choice role, and Bening tears into it with the broadest smile and widest eyes you ever saw.
It is Bening that's worth the price of admission. She makes even the corniest line ring true.
I enjoyed watching Ms. Bening in close to top form, and I think you will, too.
Bening brings such vitality to the role that she sweeps aside all the quibbles, and you have to sit back and enjoy what is a masterly performance by a great actor playing a great actor.
A pretty good picture wrapped around a great, Oscar-contender performance.
Being Julia isn't perfect; but Bening is, and that makes the film sing.
Annette Bening is great, but this isn't for kids.
Annette Bening landed an Oscar nomination for her measured performance in this adaptation of 'Theatre,' a 1937 novel by W. Somerset Maugham.
A beguiling romance about an aging actress at the peak of her career who embarks on an ill-advised, illicit affair with an admirer half her age.
One of the best movies from this year's Telluride Film Festival
(...) Bening recorre todas las emociones posibles, desde la euforia histérica hasta la más absoluta depresión.
There is a vague sense that not much is really happening, but if you just hang with it and soak up the atmosphere, the delightful payoff is worth the wait.
Benning ... brings this constantly disguised vixen to ferocious, flamboyant life.
