Being Julia Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Being Julia isn't perfect; but Bening is, and that makes the film sing.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Just because it's meringue does not mean that there are not genuine pleasures to be found in this light comedy.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Bening brings such vitality to the role that she sweeps aside all the quibbles, and you have to sit back and enjoy what is a masterly performance by a great actor playing a great actor.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
It is Bening that's worth the price of admission. She makes even the corniest line ring true.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
A pretty good picture wrapped around a great, Oscar-contender performance.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
An intelligently witty comedy that boasts the sort of performance from Annette Bening that had wags predicting an Academy Award nomination months ago.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
This is, of course, the sort of role about which actresses dream, and it is Annette Bening who brings Julia to raging, mischievous, unforgettable life.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Does nothing to restore Szabo's good name, but it does a good deal to enhance our appreciation of Bening.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
Slender but amusing adaptation of a W. Somerset Maugham novel.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
The 1930s touches, including a selection of background music, are beguiling.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I liked the movie in its own way, while it was cheerfully chugging along, but the ending let me down.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The little drama queen who lives inside each of us will find Being Julia hard to resist.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Annette Bening is great, but this isn't for kids.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Benning ... brings this constantly disguised vixen to ferocious, flamboyant life.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Bening is positively incandescent. The rest of the movie doesn't match her, but then there are not many that could.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Boasting a bewitching performance by Annette Bening as a 1930s theater queen who rules the West End as Victoria did her empire, Being Julia is a feather-light diversion about a creature who acts her life and lives her roles.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I enjoyed watching Ms. Bening in close to top form, and I think you will, too.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
May lack originality but makes up for it in sheer bravado and really nice clothes.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Bening makes the movie into something finer still. She digs into a pagoda-size heap of roles and roles-within-roles and pulls them all out, one by one, deftly.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Bening shines, and the film shines too.
