Annette is Brilliant !

Just saw Being Julia for the first time and I must say Annette Benning is surly my favorite actress. I thought so when I saw her in American Beauty and she has surpassed herself in this film. Also "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is my favorite song ! It says so much, if you know what I mean ! Also, revenge is sweet ! LOL

I thought she was great in those last 15 minutes or so, which saved the movie.

Agreed! The rest of the film was pretty much small change IMO and I got rather tired of Julia's predictable emotional overloads every 10 minutes or so.

The last 15 minutes especially with Lucy Punch herself, made it more palatable for me.

And she giggles inappropriately, always a plus.
