• "ONE OF THE YEAR’S JUICIEST FILMS – A TWO HOUR KNOCKOUT PUNCH!” Marshall Fine, Hollywood and Fine

• "SWINTON IS AMAZING!” – Diane Vadino, Nylon
• "Tilda Swinton makes any film worth seeing -- but you’ve never seen her in a role quite like this. 'Julia' takes you a wild ride you won’t soon forget.” – Leonard Maltin, Reelz Channel
• "Erick Zonca, who made one of the most auspicious debuts in recent memory with ‘The Dreamlife of Angels’, is back with this gripping thriller powered by a superlative Tilda Swinton.” – Jon Frosch, Box Office,JULIA is a uniquely unnerving, edge-of-your-seat thriller, starring critically acclaimed Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton in a tour-de-force performance. Julia is an alcoholic; unreliable, manipulative and a compulsive liar, all strung out beneath her flamboyant exterior. Between vodka and one-night stands, she gets by on nickel-and-dime jobs. Increasingly lonely, her alcohol-induced confusion reinforces her belief that life has dealt her a losing hand so she is not to blame for the mess she has made of it.
Glimpsing imminent perdition, a chance encounter with a Mexican woman convinces Julia to engage in a violent kidnapping and eventual murder – as much in panic and despair as for financial gain. Her journey becomes a headlong collision course and inevitable choice of life over death.
As the story unfolds, Julia's journey becomes a headlong flight on a collision course, but somehow she makes the choice of life over death.
