The film is no tearjerker, but it makes the stage play's hidebound, soul-baring pleasures mesmerizing on screen, and without copping to reductivism. Read full review

Director Liv Ullmann's PBS-pretty adaptation of the 1888 August Strindberg play lacks brio but is compelling thanks to its three tough performers. Read full review

The film is visually bland, with only a couple of bookending outdoor sequences around a handful of interior sets. Read full review

Liv Ullmann’s screen version of August Strindberg’s 19th-century drama is an austere, pared-down take that does one thing extremely well: It allows actors Jessica Chastain, Samantha Morton and especially Colin Farrell to shine. But this emotionally brutal work is anything but cinematically engaging. Read full review

Dec 2, 2014

Both Chastain and Farrell are resourceful, intelligent actors who can be riveting together moment to moment. But the disconcerting thing about Ullmann’s blandly handsome movie is that neither of these key characters comes fully into focus. Read full review

The writer-director never finds a coherent point of view (or a way out of Strindberg’s three-wall play structure), and Miss Julie ends up merely a whirlwind of moods without a center, as changeable and as random as a TV flipping channels. Read full review

Miss Julie is a movie focused on an era, is that kind of movie, it does not appeal to all kinds of public and this is especially for tastes more limited or able to see a movie of the type, especially if they do not like the theater .

The film is more a work of acting exhibition than anything else, its story is in the background especially because its actors are the ones who lead the baton and the story is less profound than it tries to be.… Expand
