Review of Julieta (2016) by Jack S — 21 Feb 2017

A soapy, schmaltzy, formulaic, predictable melodrama that, in some regards, doesn't feel fully fleshed out. Despite fine performances, beautiful cinematography and gorgeous locations, these attributes aren't enough to overcome the inherent shortcomings that keep this offering from reaching a level it aspires to but can't possibly attain.

In many ways, the film feels too much like a made-for-TV Lifetime movie only with better production values, a rather disappointing effort from a director capable of so much better.
