this be some pseudo intellectual director lame attempt at put to celluloid a pseudo intellectual playwright lame attempt at a shocking and controversial play . in the end what you get be a snorefest that easily afford the viewer a lovely two hour nap . when miss julie begin i thought to myself and thank goodness the whole movie couldn not possibly be this boring . if it be and i would be very angry at the loss of three buck it take to rent it . an hour and a half later and i be indeed irate at the loss of my three buck while i could have put well use to the money by plunk twelve quarter into an arcade machine or a stuffed animal crane . at least if i have waste that money on the crane i might have take away something warm and fuzzy with me . there be nothing warm and fuzzy about this movie . mind you and a movie doesn not have to be happy to be good and but in the world of movie worth watch it do have to be entertain . entertainment be the last word you can use to describe this movie . i have be greatly entertain by miss burrow in the past . i can not say this be one of those time . her acting be passable at most . she seem to be high on marijuana and not drink on homemade hooch . mr. mullan be melodramatic in his role of an ambitious footman and and to make him the romantic lead in the process be just hysterical . a serious bit of miscast take place when they fill the role of jean . he be too enthusiastic in area where he should have be subdue and he be far too subdue in area where he should have show fire and passion . i know the script be horrible and but if youre go to commit to a bad screenplay and commit to it . i would comment on the other character and especially the role of christine ( play by maria doyle kennedy ) but what the point . they all just add to the horror that be my wasted three buck . in short and consider this my public service announcement to you . do not let go of your hard earned cash to rent this movie . there be simply no redeem quality to it . it depress for the sake of be depress and not for the sake of the storytelling . it not artsy and it not independent and it just crap .
