Raúl Juliá is operating on a different level in this film. The Oscar snub still stings.

This is the film where Raúl Juliá is clearly having fun, and out of all the Gomez portrayals, his is the one that truly understands the romance. This is the performance that made me fall in love with him.

Raúl Juliá disappears into Romero with a quiet urgency, every gesture shaped by belief and conviction. You can feel his need to say something through the role. As a Catholic, the film settles differently in me, heavier, more personal.

A rare sequel that deepens rather than repeats. The story is sharper, and Raúl seems even more at ease, reveling in the character. Knowing this would be one of his last roles makes the joy bittersweet. I miss you, Raúl.

This feels less like a performance and more like a return home. Having played the role on Broadway, Raúl moves through it with confidence and seduction. I wish I could step back in time and watch him command the stage as a dangerous, irresistible charmer.

An overlooked film that lets Raúl reveal his theatrical soul. His singing and dancing feel sincere, almost vulnerable. A reminder that his talent was never confined to dialogue alone.

Raúl leans into villainy with wit and pleasure. The film is light, funny, and knowingly absurd. Even in mischief, his presence elevates everything around him.

There is something electric about watching Meryl Streep and Raúl Juliá face off in this production. Two forces meeting, neither willing to soften, both fully alive in the language. Pure Shakespeare.

I wish I could place this higher. Raúl is compelling, as always, but the film never quite rises to meet him. Even so, his presence lingers longer than the story itself.

He plays an unsettling role in a film that veers into silliness. Still, it is another reminder of his range and his willingness to take risks.

Raúl excels as a villain here. Controlled, persuasive, and sharply written, the role suits him well. He brings gravity to every scene he enters. Young Raúl!

There is an easy charisma to him in this film that makes it one of my favorite performances. He is effortlessly charming, fully inhabiting the character. I wish I could rank it higher, but some of his later roles simply live closer to my heart.

One of his final curtain calls. The movie falters, yet Raul ignites every frame he touches. Knowing he dedicated this role to his children makes it ache with tenderness.

His genius seeps through, but too bad this movie is sucks.

Brief but magnetic. He’s not the plot’s backbone, yet watching him here is witnessing the early spark of a star in motion.

I love this movie but in terms of Raúl, he was in a few scenes.
