Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. If you loved The Age of Innocence or Titanic, start here.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Based on the play by August Strindberg, Miss Julie vividly depicts the battle of the sexes and classes that ensues when Julie, a wealthy businessman's daughter, falls for Jean, her father's bitter servant.
