Miss Julie (2014)
8/10
Brilliant rendition
14 July 2023
Amazing acting. Great staging. Great direction. Luv Ullman hits it out of the park with a rendition of the Strindberg classic that modrn audiences can relate to.

I can only say that those who can not sit through a movie without gun play or car chases will be sorely vexed. If easy answers suffice your intellect, this is not the movie for you.

This movie appeals to those with depth intelligence and soul. The question of class consciousness, the concept of consent make this a totally timely piece.

The acting is brilliant. What Jessica Chastain and Colin Farrell bring to this movie is a depth of feeling and emotion rarely seen in recent films.

Jessica is stunningly beautiful. As the spoilt corrupting pampered lady she is both villainness and pathetic, infuriating and endearing, powerful and clueless.

Colin is so vulnerable and endangered, or is he the powerful seducer?

Samantha Morton is the same calibre of actress to play opposite these two amazing stars. She plays her part with understated emotion and a physical restriction that contrasts the lead characters to perfection.

This is a great movie, the rendition of a great play.

But only intelligent adults will appreciate it fully.
