She does it so well :)
I hope this movie will make it to the Netherlands. I love Julianne Moore and I really want to see this film.

Well at least they don't have to pay for the wardrobe.

Remember when she was an interesting actress? This was one of my least favorite of her roles - so saintly it hurts.

But wasn't that the point of the movie? She was the epitome of 50's housewife, fake it 'til it hurts.

Well thank God she doesn't take movie roles to please you! Cause I (and I assume others) liked it very much.

It appears that Julianne Moore takes her roles to please ME, whether she's playing a '50s housewife, an FBI agent tracking a cannibal, or a drugged-out porn star. I can't imagine anyone else being more convincing in the "Prize Winner" role.

Just because she's revisited a certain era a few times in her roles doesn't make her less of an actress. She is one of the biggest film talents we have today, and it's unfortunate she's not a bigger name in Hollywood.

I think you should watch the movie again. It was wonderful and she played her role to perfection.

That is rather a good point...

Lemon curry?!

You should see "Boogie Nights". She plays a porno star and drug addict in the 1970s. She loses custody and visitation of her young daughter due to her over the top life. She's terrific in the part, btw.

A far cry from a 50s housewife.
