What a powerful movie! Julia was absolutely fantastic she played that character so well ❤️

[@jimjimmyjames59]

I was in a production of NORMAL HEART a few years before the HBO version came out. We had some college students in the audience one night - afterwards, they said they enjoyed the show and was this based on a real story....
That sent chills down my spine. She's not wrong about a generation needing to be informed/reminded.

[@Montrosesister12]

I love her as well. She kicked some serious ass in this movie.

[@Richard_Fouts]

I never cared for the role of Emma Bruckner, until Julia Roberts did it. Everything changed when she delivered that monologue.

"Were people this awful to each other?" - and then came 2020.....

[@morkygorky]

Just what I thought..... both periods had the Republicans in office..... just saying..

[@andrewflood5420]

I LOVE HER !!!!!!

[@Superchick2]

She was awesome in this film!!!

[@Richard_Fouts]

A true tour-de-force. Julia was magnificent. Thank God Ryan Murphy wouldn't take no for an answer when she turned it down.

[@morkygorky]

Did she really turn it down at first? I can't imagine any other playing that character!
- And that monologue is Oscar worthy acting!!!

[@Richard_Fouts]

Yup. She kept turning it down and Murphy just kept after her because of her rare ability to communicate anger, hurt, rage, and pain all at once. Most actors can do one or two of those, but not all of them.
