Julie Johnson (film)

Julie Johnson is a 2001 independent American drama film directed by Bob Gosse and starring Lili Taylor, Courtney Love, and Mischa Barton.

Courtney Love won the award for Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film for her performance from Los Angeles' Outfest in 2001.

[1] Julie Johnson is a bored New Jersey housewife who is unhappy with her life and decides to take a computer class at a local college.

Problems arise when Julie, immersed in studies, makes new, scholarly, cultured friends and Claire doesn't mesh well with them.

[4] Dennis Harvey of Variety praised the performances of Taylor and Love, but ultimately deemed the film a "limp inspirational drama that lifts its premise whole from Good Will Hunting, then filters that through telepic-ish housewife-empowerment cliches.
