Julia Roberts is definitely one of the best actors of our generation.


Her body of work is amazing..one of the few actors that shows a range from comedy to romantic comedy to drama. Her range is even wider than Meryl Streep herself.

I agree, she is a fine actor and it's so nice to see an actor of her generation who hasn't been visiting the surgeons and actually looks to be ageing naturally.

I really like Julia as well. It was nice seeing her in a different role and not being so sweet.

Julia is good, but

Meryl Streep is the best living actor, period - imho

Yeah. Some totally amazing acting in this film. It should have gotten more recognition.

Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.

Julia is very good here. I don't agree that her range better than Meryl's. I don't see much at all -- her scale runs from Erin Brockovich through the nicey nice girls to this character maybe?
Then take a look at Meryl's roles.
