Noel Murray, AV Club: [Director] Zonca's merely feeding off Swinton's manic performance, which starts out tough to watch, then becomes gripping. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: We never get a good look at her demons, just the havoc they wreak. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: This is Zonca's second feature. His first, The Dreamlife of Angels, was extraordinary. Rent that one instead. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: This overlong, lurchy homage to John Cassavetes' 1980 film Gloria is a mess, but a fascinating one, given Swinton's desperately avid performance in the title role. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Charles Bukowski would have loved this foul-mouthed, fiery, reckless woman. Against all odds and common sense, you will, too. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Like any beautiful, heartbreaking wreck -- we can never take our eyes off Julia. Or the fierce and uncompromising actress bringing her to awful, astonishing life. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Picture Fargo played with no sense of comedy, and you'll get some idea of the absurdity of this drunken floozy, clicking and wobbling on high heels, often with bits of her anatomy hanging out, trying to pull off the perfect crime. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A nerve-wracking thriller with a twisty plot and startling realism. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: In a sense, it goes to all the places a sensitive character study might have gone, but more dramatically, convincingly and vividly. Read more

Scott Foundas, Village Voice: Jeered upon its premiere at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival and only now receiving a token U.S. release, Julia demands to be reassessed and reckoned with. Read more
