Julia is an alcoholic on the constant decline. She spends the nights partying, usually not knowing where she is, when she wakes up.

Because of that, she loses her job. Her only friend, Mitch, a recovering alcoholic himself, makes her go to an AA meeting, where she meets her neighbor, Elena. A few days later, Julia passes out on the sidewalk in front of her apartment building. When she comes to, she's in Elena's flat. Elena starts to talk about her son Tommy, who lives with his grandfather, because his father died and Elena herself has a history of psychosis. The grandfather is very rich.

MOVIE REVIEW

Tilda Swinton delivers an excellent performance in Julia, a surprisingly effective drama-thriller about a drunkard's simple kidnapping scheme gone horribly wrong. People looking for something a little different should add this to their Netflix list - it's available on Instant Play - immediately.
