For the most part - hard to believe! Pure escapism and fantasy. Some of the acting was good and funny at times.

Entertaining and well-scripted movie (well for the most part - I couldn't buy into the relationship between Julia (Annette Benning) and her son. Annette Benning was made for this prima donna role - good sparks between her and Jeremy Irons who plays the cuckolded husband. The movie plays almost as theatre - so if you enjoy that don't miss this movie. Also a good interpretation of Somerset Maugham and the mindset of his novels - roles and games people play.

Annette Bening is marvelous in this movie. And her passionate performance at the end is a must see. A slow starter, a bit of a bore at the beginning ( like many good novels ) but rising to a wonderful crescendo at the end. Don't miss it.

I would recommend you to see this movie. Annette Bening was excellent in her role as Julia. She is not only beautiful, she is very talented. I am sure she'll win an Oscar for her performance. [...]

A superb movie - a truly unique performance by Annette Bening and the supporting cast! A faithful and brilliant adaptation of a witty novel, too good to wait for rentals.

The film was o.k. Julia is not an admirable human being. She's self-centered [...]. The last scene (the revenge) is funny and well done.
