Review of The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (2005) by M D — 28 Jun 2008
To be quite honest, I am stunned and a little outraged that Julianne Moore was not nominated for an Academy Award for this role. The performance that she delivers is one of my all time favorite performances from an actress.
She played the role (based on an actual woman) with such charm that I am amazed she was overlooked. Nonetheless, her performance was spectacular and the story, (one of a wife and mother of ten) while sad and frustrating, at times left me smiling from ear to ear.
Evelyn Ryan was a remarkable woman with a remarkable story, and Julianne Moore brought the story to life. It was brilliant.
