A shining example of everything promising about American moviemaking as it entered the 21st Century.

smartly directed, with Soderbergh perfecting his style but not overdoing it
January 01, 2000
The film lacks focus and energy, the character development is facile and thin, and what about those necklines?

Julia Roberts winner. R mostly for language.
January 01, 2000
From the opening to the perfect final shot, Roberts is in nearly every scene of Erin Brockovich, and there isn't a second when we're not on her side.

Before long, the character simply becomes irritating.

Demonstrates how good Soderbergh is with actors.
January 01, 2000
Not only is every plot development signaled far in advance, but nearly every scene in the film's long second section rings a variation of one of two themes: 1) Julia Roberts tells somebody off, or 2) Julia Roberts feels somebody's pain.

There's really no reason this kind of conventional David-and-Goliath tale (based on a true story) should make for such a compelling motion picture, but Soderbergh and Grant smartly mix plenty of humor and unflagging inspiration into the drama.

Julia Roberts has never been more fragile or stunning. And by oncerning itself with truthful consequences of its characters' self-sacrifices, the film succeeds as a drama as much about the passion of personal investment as the pursuit of justice.

It's not that this is lousy entertainment, it's just that it's a Serious Topic given unnecessary Celebrity Sheen.

establishes Roberts as a modern Kate Hepburn-one with inner strength and charm and sincerity
