You know from the audition alone that Julianne owns the part. Should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for this one. Maybe even win. This is Julianne’s best, tied with boogie nights. Todd should’ve won the academy award for best original screenplay. Julianne is perfect choice for this part as a woman tormented and had to fight her own devil (multiple chemical sensitivities) and doesn’t know how to deal with it, but she delivered it with such subtle emotional shading and depth, to the point that she is heartbreaking and deserving of empathy
