Julie Walking Home

In this movie a woman realizes how important having faith is. She believes in this miracle healer when her son gets seriously ill. The movie was very interesting; it takes place all around Poland. It is a very nice foreign film.... Full review

This really is a good movie. But you see, I am not very found of Otto. Firts of all, I do not belive she was right for the part. Maybe an actress with better experince in dramas like these would of... Full review

I watched The Healer and was moved to deep thought about mortality, good, and evil. I reccommend this film to anyone who wants to think. I was inspired. Otto is excellent as an individual placed in a harsh situation. This film... Full review

regards the veracity of Alexy's abilities, "Julie Walking Home," despite Otto's ferocious performance, is an unmoving, cold affair of the heart.....The age-old battle between science and faith is examined in Agnieszka Holland's provocative.... ... Full Review

Holland's filmmaking talents are easily recognized amidst the chaos and until "the scene of no return" (when the mail-order bride tells Julie about Alexi), this film hits on all cylinders. Another big problem is that Otto and Bluteau aren't able to develop any chemistry. ... Full Review

There are certainly big performances here (little Ryan Smith stands out), and perhaps a great film could be carved out of what was shown at this festival....if some harsh editing were done....and Otto looks stunning.....the end of this film took a way easy option just when a really interesting potential plot twist came forth..... ...
