Julia

Erick Zonca's (The Dreamlife of Angels) homage to John Cassavetes' Gloria is a twisted, nervy thriller that finds Tilda Swinton at the height of her acting prowess.

Down on her luck and desperate, the tough, self annihilating Julia is made an offer she can't refuse, her amoral choices morphing Zonca's intimate character study into a taut action flick.
