Drama
The story of a friendship between two women and their anti-Nazi efforts during World War II. Though purportedly a true story about Lillian Hellman, her involvement was proved to be untrue by the actual Julia after the film came out. Still great. Streep's debut. Academy Award Nominations: 11, including Best Picture, Best Director. Academy Awards: Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress--Vanessa Redgrave, Best Supporting Actor--Jason Robards. [+]

"Sargent and Zinneman have amplified the story with solemn care, in good taste, and have come forth with a film that is both well-meaning and on the side of the angels but with the exception of a half-dozen scenes, lifeless." | NEU |

"Fred Zinnemann’s superbly sensitive film explores the anti-Nazi awakening in the 1930s of writer Lillian Hellman (...) La producción de Richard Roth es atractiva y elegante" | POS |
United Kingdom |
Time Out | "Zinnemann blows it most of all in the Fonda-Redgrave relationship, and no credibility is given to Hellman's ferocious talent and dominant personality" | NEU |

United States |
|
"Despite its gentility and evasiveness, Julia may have come much closer to the truth about Lillian Hellman on the strength of Jane Fonda's edgy, persuasive performance" | POS |

"This movie's problems start with its point of view, and it never quite recovers from them" | POS |
