Roberts slips easily into the relaxed ensemble cast of Steven Soderbergh’s caper movie sequel which at times approaches Pure Cinema in its nonsensical plotting (stock certificates, Fabergé egg, who cares), transportive soundtrack and breezy stylisation. Roberts is formidable in crimped blond curls as this prototype Trumpette, declumping her mascara with a safety pin while rattling off facts about surface-to-air missiles. Mike Nichols’ final film stars Tom Hanks as a real-life Texas congressman who in the 1980s formed a sneaky alliance with a maverick CIA man and a rightwing socialite to supply arms to Afghan freedom fighters. Julia wears at least one baggy jumper, but some Hitchcock-style flirting would not have gone amiss. Denzel Washington, who reportedly nixed any hint of interracial romance, plays a reporter who helps her run away from hitmen.
Roberts is at her most Bambi-like as a law student targeted by assassins after stumbling across a not-very-interesting conspiracy in this John Grisham thriller. Jacob Tremblay nails the central role, with Roberts so beautifully supportive as his mum that you wish she could mother you too. Wonder (2017)Ī 10-year-old boy with a rare facial disfigurement starts school, where he has to learn to make friends and avoid bullies in the sort of heartwarming gush where you start off cynically sneering, but end up blubbing.

As the voice of the eponymous spider, Roberts radiates barnyard wisdom in this live-action version of EB White’s children’s classic, and I defy you not to bawl your eyes out. So you think you can resist Dakota Fanning adopting a piglet, or Oprah Winfrey as a talking goose? Think again. This domestic violence thriller with a slasher movie vibe is arguably the acme of Julia’s baggy jumper phase. Roberts plays a wife so desperate to escape her abusive, towel-tidying husband that she fakes her own death and moves to Iowa, where she meets a nicer chap and learns to wear baggy jumpers. Tracy Letts adapted his own stage play featuring endless, tedious truth-telling around the dinner table. Roberts goes head-to-head against a grandstanding Meryl Streep, but holds her own and nets her fourth Oscar nomination as a member of a horrible family reuniting in Oklahoma when the alcoholic patriarch goes missing.
