"Miss Julie" is claustrophobic and distressing. It's a top-notch dramatic play stuffed into the confines of a four-sided movie screen. Wealthy heiress Julie (Jessica Chastain) fancies John (Colin Farrell), her father's valet. She seduces him, and allows herself to be seduced by him. The aftermath of their coitus is fraught with class and social anxieties by two people trapped at different edges of the spectrum. They argue a lot. Yikes.
