Moviegoers are saying
This Belgian sapphic drama hits viewers like an emotional freight train, with audiences simultaneously loving and hating how deeply it devastates them. While the film's surface-level approach and melancholic tone frustrate some viewers, it consistently reduces audiences to tears with its 'right person, not enough time' romance.

    Pitié donnez nous un peu des représentations saphiques qui nous donnent pas envie de nous tirer une balle en sortant de la salle.  Le sujet et l’histoire sont hyper touchants mais y’a vraiment une sensation de rester en surface, je suis jamais vraiment rentrée dans…

As it marks ends and beginnings, “Julian” honors a love abridged and enduring.

Poignant and worth telling once, Julian should’ve been laid to rest after the tragedy was retold the first time.

Both Meurisse and Roothooft are superb, portraying the character’s love affair with grace and compassion. Meurisse, in particular, is heartbreaking in one pivotal moment that could have been too melodramatic, but endures because of Kusters’ tempered direction.
