The Wronged Man review

Here is Lettie's review of The Wronged Man:

At the weekend I watched for the first time Julia Ormond's new film 'The Wronged Man'. The story, based on real life events, revolves around a man wrongly convicted for the rape of a child and imprisoned for over twenty years for a crime that he did not commit. Julia Ormond plays the paralegal who fights to secure his release. I felt that there were echoes of 'Smilla's Feeling for Snow' in the film. Ormond was once again playing a character in pursuit of justice with the odds stacked against her. Ormond, as always, played her role with integrity and depth. However, I felt that the film was a little superficial. It failed to go into much detail about the legal process which eventually freed her client. The film concentrated more on the personal relationship between the paralegal and her client and the way that it impacted on their families and personal lives. This is not a bad thing but I felt that the film would have had more depth with more detail about the legal issues involved, eg, The Innocence Project. 'The Wronged Man' is not Ormond's best film but it is a huge improvement on some of her recent roles in 'Surveillance' and 'I know who killed me' - those films did not deserve her. I should also add that it will be a relief to the fans that she has more than five minutes screen time which has not been the case in some of her past productions.

Film Based on Oliver Sacks' 'Last Hippie' Begins Production

New Julia movie alert!

Production has begun on the film adaptation of “The Last Hippie,” a case study written by Oliver Sacks, physician and best-selling author of "Awakenings."

The “Untitled Oliver Sacks Project” stars J.K. Simmons (“Up in the Air” and “Juno”), Julia Ormond (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”), Cara Seymour (“An Education”) and Lou Taylor Pucci (“Brotherhood”).

Jim Kohlberg is making his feature film directorial debut. The screenplay was written by Gwyn Lurie and Gary Marks.

The story centers around an engineer (J.K. Simmons) who discovers his long-lost 35-year old son (Lou Taylor Pucci), a former hippie, is suffering from a brain tumor that prevents him from creating new memories. His memory effectively frozen until his parents and doctor (Julia Ormond) discover they can communicate with him through music, including Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead.

It is currently shooting in New York and Westchester County.

The Wronged Man review

Jo sent in her comments on The Wronged Man:

Watched "The Wronged Man" tonight. Ms Ormond was spectacular. A good, meaty role for her — and a Southern to boot (she carried it off quite believably and that's not easy). Looks like the movie will be repeated a number of times. It was on here twice on Sunday — 5pm and 9pm — and the same schedule's set for Monday. It's certainly worth a 2nd viewing!!

Why not add your own reviews in the comments box.

Albatross synopsis

Here is a synopsis of Julia's new movie Albatross:

Seventeen year old force-of-nature Emelia starts a new job at The Cliff House, a small hotel run by the dysfunctional Fischer family. Beth Fischer, also seventeen, is cramming for her exams in a desperate bid to escape to University. Dad Jonathan is an author. Once the bright young thing of the literary establishment, he is now suffering interminable writer's block. Wife Joa runs the hotel Jonathan bought with earnings from his first book. She resents it, him, and everyone around her as she gave up her 'promising career as an actress' for this.

Emelia is an aspiring writer; believing she is following in the footsteps of her great-grandfather Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle. Jonathan sees promise in Emelia and begins to tutor her, but their relationship quickly crosses the pupil-teacher line and they embark on a love affair. At the same time, Emelia and Beth strike up a surprise friendship: Emelia's free-spirit helps Beth learn to let her hair down and Emelia is inspired by Beth's determination and focus.

Secrets are revealed as the threads of the story collide and unravel. Can Emelia get rid of the Albatross that hangs round her neck and rewrite herself?
