“Being Julia” misses the boat on several levels. It’s target audience seems to be intellectuals and yet the dialog is anything but stimulating. The story is transparent. The language is almost as bad as the actor’s accents. This film will likely not be released to a wide distribution circuit (it was listed locally as an Alternative Film) which tells you that even the movie studio didn’t think it would be well received by the general public. All that said, I imagine you will see several academy award nominations come out of this one, which just goes to show you that the Hollywood elite just don’t get it.
