| | Being Julia Review by Dustin Rowles |
 | | Yet, Julia, every bit the Norma Desmond diva, has grown weary of not only her stardom, but her professional marriage, a “modern” coupling with her impresario husband, Michael (Jeremy Irons). |
 | | Enter wet-behind-the-ears American, Tom Fennel (Shaun Evans), who is star struck with Julia; flattered by the attention and boldness of a man half her age, Julia takes a quick liking to Tom, embarking on a torrid love affair that reinvigorates her enthusiasm for acting. |
 | | Expectedly, however, the ardor that Julia and Tom share fades, after she learns of his real agenda, and about the ambitions of another actress, (Lucy Punch), with whom Tom is also sleeping. |
