The first warning I need to get across here is that you shouldn't mix up this film's title with that of another, similarly-named 2009 film starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. The latter was JULIE & JULIA, which was a light-hearted look at Julia Child's culinary travails. While that film was good, it doesn't stand a chance at being on my year-end top 10 list, which is the opposite of what I can sa... read more

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was directed by Erick Zonca and starring Tilda Swinton, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of the weirdest and wildest kidnappings I have ever seen, that’s for sure. To be honest, not everything did work in this movie but the damned thing was so unpredictable, at some point, I kept wondering wh... read more
Julia is a drunk. She loses her job in real estate and at an A.A. meeting meets a neighbor, Elena, an addled Mexican woman who talks about having lots of money and a plan to kidnap her own son from the boy's grandfather, a wealthy businessman. Elena wants Julia's help. Julia says yes with her own plan to do this alone. Following Elena's plan, Julia manages to grab the boy, Tom, who's about 10. Now what? She asks for a ransom. Tom's grandfather and his money are connected directly to Mexican drug trafficking, so Julia is up against long odds. Will anyone make it out alive?

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was directed by Erick Zonca and starring Tilda Swinton, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of the weirdest and wildest kidnappings I have ever seen, that’s for sure. To be honest, not everything did work in this movie but the damned thing was so unpredictable, at some point, I kept wondering what the hell would happen next which was definitely the strongest aspect of this movie. Of course, you also get around 150 mins of a non-stop one-woman-show from Tilda Swinton which was obviously pretty awesome as well. Concerning Erick Zonca, I wish I could rewatch ‘La vie rêvée des anges’ which had been a huge critical success when it was released in France. Anyway, almost 10 years later, h” read more
