Every Julianne Moore Movie Ranked Worst To Best

No matter your taste in movies, you have likely seen Julianne Moore in more than a few things. The actress has been in over 70 major motion pictures, from psychological thrillers to romcoms to Hollywood blockbusters. Moore's prolific acting career began on TV in the 1980s, but she took off as a name in the following decade. From Robert Altman's "Short Cuts" to her roles in "Boogie Nights" and "The Big Lebowski," by the end of the '90s serious film aficionados knew the name Julianne Moore quite well.

The years since have only brought the actress more roles and accolades, including an Oscar win for Best Actress in 2014's "Still Alice." While Moore has been in dozens of excellent movies, she has also showed up in her fair share of Razzie-nominated bombs. To see how they all stack up, here is every movie in Julianne Moore's filmography, ranked from the worst to the absolute best.

Remember when they made movies spinning off from "Saturday Night Live" characters? While some were hits, not everyone was lucky enough to make a "Wayne's World" or "Blues Brothers" from their skits. Based on the Tim Meadows "SNL" character, "The Ladies Man” came out in 2000 and was panned by critics (Metacritic). The suave, sex-obsessed radio host Leon Phelps (Meadows) was not enough to carry a feature film.

"The Ladies Man" starts when Leon is finally axed from his radio gig. He receives a note from a mysterious woman saying she will love and financially support him, but here's the punchline: he doesn't know who it's from and, you guessed it, he has slept with so many women that now he has to navigate his way through a legion of angry exes to find the one. It's like "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" except without any self-awareness or style. Moore plays a sympathetic ex-girlfriend of Leon's who now works as a clown. Sadly, her career is skyrocketing and she doesn't have time for a relationship. It's safe to say Moore wouldn't be caught dead in clown make-up these days. 

Julianne Moore is the villain of this unfortunately drab fantasy adventure. She plays Mother Malkin, a powerful witch who escapes the imprisonment brought upon her by witch hunter Gregory (Jeff Bridges). Now with Malkin on the verge of regaining her true power, Gregory must find a new apprentice to help him take her down before it becomes too late.

"Seventh Son" refers to the movie's hero, Tom Ward (Ben Barnes), who is the seventh son of a seventh son and Gregory's newfound apprentice. The two set off on an adventure to stop Malkin from building an unstoppable army. The story is nothing special, but "Seventh Son" suffers most from poor production and filmmaking. From uneven sound mixing to ineffective CGI, this is one fantasy that, like Mother Malkin, best remain dead in the ground.

Julianne Moore plays a major role in "Assassins," a completely forgettable '90s action movie that was maybe almost cool for its own good. Why? Well, aside from hunks Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas leading the way, the movie's script is credited to the Wachowskis. However, years later (via The New Yorker), Lana Wachowski admitted that screenwriter Brian Helgeland more or less rewrote the entire thing, scrapping "all the subtext, the visual metaphors" and instead giving us a pretty bland action movie. Thankfully this script served as the foot in the door for the Wachowskis to work with Warner Brothers and eventually make "The Matrix."

In the movie, Stallone plays Robert Rath, a cliché of an assassin getting ready for retirement. For his last big score, he is sent to kill a computer hacker named Electra (Moore), but in the wake of a large threat the two end up working together. Oh, and the whole time an assassin named Bain (Banderas) is chasing after Rath trying to kill him, in order to become the best assassin in the world. It is a silly, uninspiring movie that should have been so much more.

This film was originally a Fox theatrical release scheduled for 2019, but poor test screenings pushed it into 2020, and then COVID-19 pushed it directly to Netflix. "The Woman in the Window" finally arrived on the streaming platform in 2021. With an abundance of talent — including Julianne Moore, Amy Adams, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Gary Oldman — and a screenplay by playwright Tracy Letts, it is a shock that "The Woman in the Window" wasn't better than it turned out.

Agoraphobic Anna (Amy Adams) lives by herself and drinks to drive away her divorce sorrows. She begins another habit as well, watching her neighbor Jane (Moore) through the window after the latter pays Anna a friendly visit. One night Anna sees Jane being stabbed to death through the window. When she goes to the police no one believes her, as a woman claiming to be Jane (Jennifer Jason Leigh) shows up and nobody seems to realize anything has changed. The paranoia thriller that follows was hackneyed enough for Netflix to get away with making a parody show based on its own movie.

It's easy to wax nostalgic for the days when a major studio like Paramount would pump tens of millions into a Philip K. Dick adaptation. "Blade Runner" is a classic and even "Minority Report" rocks, but films like "Next" were proof that by 2007, these short stories had largely been milked as much as they could be. This sci-fi adventure doesn't live up to its source material.

In "Next" Nicolas Cage is Cris Johnson, a hero tragically blessed with the ability to see into his future but only by two minutes. Johnson works in a Vegas casino, where he is psychologically hung up on a vision he has of a woman. NSA agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) learns of his ability and attempts to chase him down throughout the movie, trying to get him to help the U.S. take down Russian terrorists. The ripped-from-the-headlines politics erases much of the intention of Dick's original story, leading to a messy plot supported by some downright rotten special effects.

Based on the Wallace Shawn play of the same name, "Marie and Bruce" is a 2004 drama that premiered at Sundance that January. Julianne Moore and Matthew Broderick play the title couple, victims of a decaying marriage. Outside of the festival circuit, "Marie and Bruce" didn't make a splash with audiences or critics and is largely a forgotten entry in Moore's career (Rotten Tomatoes).

One morning Marie (Moore) wakes up and decides to leave Bruce (Broderick), but he acts like this is a relatively routine interaction. What follows is a slice of life look at the next 24 hours. Later the two meet at a party, where after a few drinks Bruce's true feelings about Marie come out. The toxic relationship dynamic is filled with melodrama when brought to the screen, making "Marie and Bruce" another victim of poor adaptation despite the talent of the leads in other roles. 

Julianne Moore starred alongside Hugh Grant in this 1995 romcom, which is slightly better than "Trust the Man." If you remember it at all, "Nine Months" is probably best recalled as Grant's first starring role in an American film. He plays psychologist Samuel Faulkner, who falls in love with dance instructor Rebecca Taylor (Moore). The two discuss children and of course Faulkner is staunchly opposed. Taylor soon gets pregnant, leading to a story we've all seen before of a man coming to terms with fatherhood.

"Nine Months" is, by today's standards, a completely unnecessary story that would be much better served by actually being about women who experience pregnancy. Instead, it's about a man realizing children are actually good and not little monsters. As Roger Ebert wrote in his review, "The outcome is abundantly clear to everyone but the hero, who remains in the hapless position of playing dumb because, if he didn't, there wouldn't be a plot."

In this 2004 psychological thriller, Moore plays grieving mother Telly. Over a year after her son's death, she lets his loss consume her life. That is until one random day she wakes up and it's like she never had a son at all. Her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards) and friends begin to think she is delusional, believing in a dead son that she never gave birth to. After she seeks out Ash (Dominic West), another parent whose child died in the same incident, he discovers that he doesn't have memories of his daughter either and the two embark on a search for the truth.

The first half cruises before "The Forgotten" crashes and burns into a silly climax that doesn't provide remotely satisfying answers. The social experiment conspiracy that underlies the premise is never given proper motivation for existing and the ending uses sloppy logic to tie up the loose ends.

TV director and producer Craig Zisk made "The English Teacher" as his first feature film. Met with a mixed-to-negative response (Rotten Tomatoes), the romantic comedy stars a charming Julianne Moore as small town English teacher Linda Sinclair. Moore wasn't charming enough to win over most critics, who largely felt "The English Teacher" was shallow and didn't live up to its potential.

When an old favorite student of Linda's, Jason (Michael Angarano), comes back into town after attending NYU, he presents her with the script he has written. The two convince the drama teacher (played by Nathan Lane) to put on the play at the high school, but after the town discovers Linda and Jason slept together the whole thing is called off and she is fired. Following this, Linda tries to mend the relationships she's broken and save a work of art she genuinely loves. Ultimately the film implies that Linda ends up dating Jason's father, which is one head-scratcher of an ending.

One of the strangest filmmaking choices of all time was when Gus Van Sant, coming hot off the success of "Good Will Hunting," decided to make a shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." The 1998 remake of the influential horror movie is often cited as one of the worst of all time. The wacky decision to cast Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates was only one of the movie's major flaws. At best, 1998's "Psycho" is a pale imitation of a masterpiece.

In the second half of the film, Julianne Moore plays Lila Crane, who's searching for her vanished sister Marion (Anne Heche). Viggo Mortenson and William H. Macy also feature prominently in this second half, making for one of the most strangely cast horror movies of the 1990s.

Based on a José Saramago novel, 2008's apocalyptic drama "Blindness" is a high-concept thriller. What if there was a global blindness epidemic and one lucky survivor was blessed with sight? That sums up Julianne Moore's role pretty well as the unnamed wife of an unnamed doctor (Mark Rufallo) who discovers this sight loss is a communicable disease. Quarantined with a group of other newly blinded people, the doctor uses his wife's ability to help out the others but keeps the knowledge of her sight a secret. As the days drag on, the world begins to tear itself apart and the community is threatened by hostile outsiders.

The ending is sillier than even the overwrought symbolism of the premise, leaving most of the overarching thematic threads dangling. Moore still shines despite these flaws, with Boston Globe critic Wesley Morris writing in his review, "[Moore] tends to be at her best when the world is at its worst. And things are pretty bad in 'Blindness.'"

"Savage Grace" is based on the real-life murder of Bakelite plastic heiress Barbara Daly Baekeland (played by Moore). Baekeland was stabbed by her son in the wake of a complicated and alleged sexual relationship. The film runs with the most inflammatory allegations against the family to tell a controversial story that compelled as many audience members as it repulsed (Metacritic).

The story follows the Baekeland family as Barbara raises her son Antony (Eddie Redmayne). As he grows and begins to show signs of being gay, Barbara refuses to accept this, diagnosing him with mental illness and even going as far as seducing her own son to "cure" him. "Savage Grace” is a dark story with some disturbing themes. The sharp, convincing performances from Moore and a burgeoning Redmayne only make it a more captivating, yet still unsettling, watch.

In 2018, "American Pie" director Paul Weitz made this indie drama starring Julianne Moore as Roxane Cox, a world-famous singer who is summoned to the birthday party of rich Japanese industrialist Katsumi Hosokawa (Ken Watanabe). This gathering of powerful people is taken hostage by a group of political terrorists and Roxane is putting in a threatening situation.

The movie was received mostly poorly, and critiqued for being preachy and tonally inconsistent. It didn't help that Oscar winner Renée Fleming provided the singing voice for Roxane in scenes where Moore lip-synched, giving these moments an unsettling uncanny valley effect. 

Julianne Moore's very first theatrical film appearance was in this campy horror anthology released in 1990. Based on the TV show of the same name, the movie told three stories of dread and terror, but don't expect anything in "Tales from the Darkside" to keep you up at night. This is pure camp, for better and worse, and it divided critics along these lines as well.

Moore stars in the first segment, based on Arthur Conan Doyle's horror short story "Lot 249." Grad student Edward Bellingham (Steve Buscemi) is cheated out of a scholarship by two conniving classmates, Susan (Julianne Moore) and Lee (Robert Sedgwick).When he finds a cursed mummy, Bellingham reanimates it to get his revenge. The other segments include a George A. Romero-penned adaptation of the Stephen King short "The Cat from Hell" and a Japanese-influenced ghost tale titled "Lover's Vow."

This 2009 thriller starred Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried alongside Moore. Directed by Atom Egoyan, "Chloe" is a remake of the 2003 French movie "Nathalie..." When doctor Catherine (Moore) suspects her husband (Neeson) of cheating, she hires call girl Chloe (Seyfried) to seduce him and get more information. As she does, it becomes clear the descriptions of these encounters make Catherine upset, but also arouse her. She and Chloe begin to experience a different kind of tension in what appears to be a love triangle between the three. 

But all is not as it appears in a twisty and groan-inducing finale. Unfortunately, "Chloe" has an uneven and pretentious third act that undermines Moore's otherwise acclaimed performance (Metacritic). 

While Stephen King's "Carrie" holds timeless lessons for the youth of any generation, that doesn't mean it was a good idea to remake a classic. The 1976 Brian De Palma adaptation is one of the best efforts to turn the master's writing into cinema, and the 2013 remake pales in comparison (Rotten Tomatoes).

Chloe Grace Moretz plays the troubled, picked-on Carrie White and Moore is her religious zealot mother Margaret. When her classmates discover she is on her period, Carrie begins getting bullied more by both her schoolmates and her abusive mother. In the story's classic supernatural twist, Carrie develops telekinetic powers that fuel her revenge. The story of "Carrie" is still a great one that makes for a solid film, but this version just doesn't add anything new.

Directed by the duo of Mary Cybulski and John Tintori, "Chicago Cab" is exactly what it sounds like. A bit like Jim Jarmusch's "Night on Earth" (which follows different cab drivers around the world), this movie follows one cab driver throughout a night as various passengers get in and out. 30 different actors make appearances as unnamed characters in this star-studded experimental film. In addition to Julianne Moore, the movie also featured appearances from John C. Reilly, Laurie Metcalf, Gillian Anderson, John Cusack and more. 

Responses to "Chicago Cab" were generally mixed and if you are looking to get a fix of Moore, you are only getting her in a tiny dosage in this massive ensemble.

This 2014 thriller set on an airplane stars Liam Neeson as washed-up alcoholic U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks. When Marks begins getting texts from a random number claiming that the plane's passengers will be killed if the sender's financial demands are not met, Neeson springs into action star mode. Moore plays Jen Summers, a typical female lead who doesn't get much to do in this machismo-dominated action flick. She just happens to be the character sitting next to Marks.

"Non-Stop" is the type of movie you watch for the action and thrilling set pieces, not the story or characters. It's not bad, but anyone looking for Moore and Neeson to turn in thoughtful work here should think again (Rotten Tomatoes).

This motivational feminist drama is based on the true story of Evelyn Ryan and her 10 children. In "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," Kelly Ryan (Woody Harrelson) struggles to keep food on the table for his family and is falling into alcoholism. In an attempt to save the family, Evelyn (Julianne Moore) submits to jingle-writing contests and finds herself extreme successful, using the prizes she wins from the endeavor to support her family. 

"The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" is a bittersweet drama that is worth tracking down to see one of Moore's most overlooked performances. 

Not to be confused with "Gloria Bell," where Moore also gives a stunning performance, the biographical drama "The Glorias" is focused on telling the life story of Gloria Steinem. The film begins as Glorias of all ages ride a bus before the movie starts telling a story set across different time periods. Moore plays the oldest version of Steinem, with Alicia Vikander, Lulu Wilson, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong all playing younger versions of the feminist icon. 

After she grows up, we see Gloria Steinem start to be politically active, writing political journalism and attending protests. "The Glorias" takes the story all the way up to the 2016 presidential election. While the acting was a positive note, the movie still met a mixed reception. Critics were left wishing that, at a two-and-a-half-hour runtime, the movie would have been tightened up a little more.

A supporting role in the 1992 thriller "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" is one of Moore's earliest roles that's worth revisiting. When housewife Claire (Annabella Sciorra) is assaulted by her obstetrician, Dr. Mott, she and her husband report him to the medical board. This leads to Mott committing suicide and leaving his wife (Rebecca De Mornay) childless and homeless. 

Months later Claire unknowingly hires Mrs. Mott as their new family nanny, but the vengeful widow bides her time to get her revenge in this tense, dark thriller. Moore plays Claire's supportive friend Marlene who, despite her pleasant attitude, Claire suspects is having an affair with her husband. While this isn't the most poignant genre film you will find Moore acting in, "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. 

"Maps to the Stars" is a biting satire of Hollywood directed by David Cronenberg. As Havana Segrand, Moore plays a washed-up actor who has spent her whole career living in her abusive mother's shadow. A project comes along that could save her career, but it is a remake of one of her mother's films, forcing Havana to play a role her mother once did. This blurs the lines completely for an already psychologically damaged character. 

This meta movie about making a movie is an intense look at the toxic personalities and interpersonal drama running amok behind the scenes of our favorite films. Ultimately, "Maps to the Stars" came across as dark with a comedic edge, with some critics comparing it favorably to movies like "Mulholland Drive."

Julianne Moore's role in "Benny and Joon" proved to be another early career move that showed a promising future for the actress. In the film, Benny (Aidan Quinn) takes care of his sister Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson) after the tragic death of their parents. When the eccentric Sam (Johnny Depp) comes to live with them, previously unspoken tension arises between the siblings. Benny begins dating cheery waitress Ruthie (Moore), but his attention drifts when Sam and Joon start to become romantically entangled with one another. 

This drama features some charming performances from Moore, Quinn, and Depp. Sporting a very nuanced portrayal of mental illness for 1993, "Benny and Joon" is a film that still mostly holds up today. 

Miraculously enough, "Mockingjay — Part 2" received nearly identical review scores to its predecessor from fans and critics. These two halves of the final saga of "The Hunger Games" are more or less one gigantic film, but we give the slight edge to the second part on this list because of Moore's performance. At the end of the epic saga, Katniss and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) are reunited with Peeta and the trio forge ahead into the Capitol against Coin's orders. The final chapter in the "Hunger Games" saga is action-heavy and not afraid to let characters die or turn rogue.

Coin's heel turn at the end of "Mockingjay — Part 2" allows Moore to further show off her range. As both heroic leader and authoritarian villain, Moore is given juicer material to work with in the sequel.

Over the course of her storied career, Julianne Moore has teamed up with many legendary filmmakers. The writer-director she has made the most movies with, though, is Todd Haynes. Despite it being the lowest ranking of Moore's joint efforts with Haynes, "Wonderstruck" is still a very good movie. Moore gives a performance that fans of the actress should have on their radar.

In this 2017 mystery adapted from the young adult novel of the same name, two stories are interlaced and connected across time. In 1927, young deaf Rose (Millicent Simmonds) escapes to New York City in search of her mother, actress Lillian Mayhew (Moore). In 1977, Ben — also deaf in one ear — searches for his father after his mother's tragic death. Moore plays an adult Rose in the '70s timeline, eventually uniting with Ben to explain how the two characters are connected.

"The End of the Affair" is notable for featuring Julianne Moore's first Oscar-nominated performance. The 1999 historical drama, based on a 1951 novel, earned the actress accolades and acclaim (IMDb) and was a major turning point in her career. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the movie is a major downer so don't go in expecting a happy ending. 

Moore plays Sarah Miles, a well-to-do married woman who has been having an affair with novelist Maurice Bendrix (Ralph Fiennes) for years. Through flashbacks, "The End of the Affair" shows their relationship during the war juxtaposed with an post-war timeline where Maurice tries to figure out why Sarah stopped seeing him. The answer is a tragic and puzzling truth that leaves the writer questioning his faith.

This Oscar Wilde adaptation was a sharp, witty period comedy that earned Julianne Moore a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress (IMDb). Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam) is a well to-do lord and an ideal husband who is always on his best behavior for his wife Gertrude (Cate Blanchett). One day he begins getting blackmailed by an old associate, Ms. Cheveley (Moore). She brings Chiltern's shady past to light, throwing a wrench in his perfect Victorian life and jeopardizing his marriage. 

The film was praised for its acting and production design (Rotten Tomatoes). Despite making some changes to the source material, "An Ideal Husband" turned out to be a story that worked on the big screen.

This well-regarded modernization of the 1897 Henry James novel stars Moore as one of the most unlikeable characters we've ever had the painful joy of seeing her play. As Susanna, a conceited musician, she fails her way through raising her child Maisie (Onata Aprile) with her equally distant husband Beale (Steven Coogan). After years of ignoring their child, they separate and are given joint custody. Maisie watches as her parents each repeat their toxic habits with respective new partners. She grows attached to Beale's wife and housekeeper Margo (Joanna Vanderham) and Susanna's new husband Lincoln (Alexander Skarsgård), while wishing for a way to make everyone happy

"What Maisie Knew" is a melancholy drama about divorce that is lent legitimacy by Moore's vicious performance. It is a story about bad people, but don't worry — it does actually have an ending that will warm your heart.

After working with Paul Thomas Anderson in "Boogie Nights," Moore also turned up in the filmmaker's next epic drama. Over the course of three hours, Anderson weaves five interconnected storylines together into a meditation on the absurdist, coincidental nature of life. Each story is somehow connected by the game show "What Do Kids Know?," a program hosted by the ailing Jimmy Gator (Philip Baker Hall). Saying any more about where "Magnolia" goes would ruin an ending of biblical proportions.

Moore plays Linda, trophy wife of the game show's former producer, Earl Partridge (Jason Robards), who lies on his deathbed. Deciding to make changes to his will, Linda charges his nurse Phil (Philip Seymour Hoffman) with tracking down his long-lost son. That son is a macho pickup artist named Frank who is played by Tom Cruise in peak form. The performance even earned Cruise a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.

Fashion designer Tom Ford made his acclaimed film directorial debut with "A Single Man." The stylish period drama stars an Oscar-nominated Colin Firth as gay professor George Falconer, living in 1960s Los Angeles. Months after losing his lover in a car crash, Falconer has been contemplating suicide and decides that day will be his last. His friend Charley (Julianne Moore) calls on him for what she doesn't know is his last supper. "A Single Man" is a film about suffering and loss and being queer, and its formal qualities echo this thematic depth.

Coming from Tom Ford, it's no surprise that the production design and costuming in the movie are excellent, but that doesn't make it any less impressive. This is a period piece that will visually wow you as much as it makes you wipe away the tears from your cheek.

Julianne Moore's first collaboration with director Todd Haynes still remains one of her most stunning performances. In "Safe" Moore plays Carol, a woman whose life begins to fall apart when she develops a severe environmental illness. Everyday fumes and chemicals start to impact her breathing and slowly her condition takes a psychological toll. She is soon forced to seek out a community far from society, but this story is not about finding acceptance from others. It is about finding it within yourself.

Haynes's movies are often melancholy, but "Safe" is tragic. Disease and social isolation push Carol as far from her old life as possible. Her journey is painful, made all the more so by Moore's moving performance, and you will feel that pain. Even with its uplifting final moments, "Safe" is not for the faint of heart.

In this Coen brothers cult classic, Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is a laid-back stoner type who gets mixed up with more than he bargained for when he is attacked one night. Thus begins this hilarious case of mistaken identity involving a much wealthier Jeffrey Lebowski (David Huddleston). Julianne Moore plays Maude Lebowski, a quirky, sexual boundary-pushing fine artist and the big Lebowski's ex-wife. She ends up becoming not just the Dude's lover, but also the only helpful sidekick in helping him solve the mystery of Lebowski's missing trophy wife Bunny (Tara Reid).

"The Big Lebowski" is considered one of the best movies of the '90s for its characters and perfectly morbid sense of humor. Even supporting actors John Goodman. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sam Elliott give performances that have cemented these screwball characters and quotes deep into the minds of many cinephiles. Please abide by our advice to watch this one immediately if you haven't seen it yet.

The most successful of the Todd Haynes films starring Julianne Moore, 2002's "Far From Heaven" is a social melodrama that is heavily inspired by the films of Douglas Sirk. The title is loosely based on Sirk's own "All that Heaven Allows." Like the '50s dramas that inspired it, "Far From Heaven" features strong performances and deep themes about contemporary American society.

Cathy Whitaker (Moore) lives in a scenic suburb with her husband Frank (Dennis Quaid) in an ideal 1950s nuclear family. One day, Frank is arrested and the police claim to have found him at a gay bar. As she begins to realize this incident is not just a mistake, and is reflective of Frank's sexuality, Cathy begins spending time with her late gardener's son (Dennis Haysbert). Rumors begin to spread when she is seen going around town with a Black man. Through the lenses of these two storylines, "Far From Heaven" interrogates the failure of a "perfect" American family.

Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men" is a dystopian masterpiece. The intense 2006 tale was (and still is) thrilling and poignant, taking place in a crumbling world where a child has not been born for 18 years. Infertility across the human race has led to chaos. In a broken, collapsing London, reluctant hero Theo (Clive Owen) is roped into escorting what appears to be the world's only pregnant woman (Clare-Hope Ashitey) to a group of scientists in Portugal. This post-apocalyptic journey that inspired "The Last of Us" takes these two on a nail-biting journey across Europe.

Moore gives an intense performance as Theo's radicalized ex-wife Julian. She organizes a group to kidnap him just to offer to pay him to transport Kee, the pregnant woman. While Theo only does it for the money, Julian conjures the happy memories of their lost son to convince Theo to make the dangerous pilgrimage — that nobody might be coming back from.

This Golden Globe-winning drama (although it technically won for Best Comedy) starred the vibrant duo of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Nic (Bening) and Jules (Moore) are a happy married couple with two children, Laser (Josh Hutcherson) and Joni (Mia Wasikowska). When Laser gets curious about his biological father, Joni finds sperm donor Paul Hatfield (Mark Ruffalo) and he starts to become part of their lives. Things become complicated when Jules and Paul begin having an affair and Nic, already disapproving, begins to feel lost in her own marriage.

"The Kids Are All Right" is a nuanced LGBTQ drama with solid performances all around to back up the stellar leads. Julianne Moore fans shouldn't miss this tender, occasionally difficult, and heartwarming story.
