What Parents Need to Know
About Being Julia
Parents need to know that this movie has very explicit sexual references and situations, including adultery and a discussion of a disappointing first sexual encounter. Characters drink, smoke, and use strong language. A strength of the movie is its sympathetic portrayal of a gay character.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what Julia was looking for. What mattered most to her? Did she get it? They might also want to talk about the conversation between Julia and her son about his first sexual encounter.

Not for kids & most adults
Great flick, Annette is stunning and wonderful, Irons is Irons. But not a kid flick, nor a teenager flick, nor a chick flick. This is serious stuff for adults with taste and a keen sense of irony.
