Julia Mayorga: Last News

Katie Holmes is enjoying the chilly temperatures bundled up in a long, elegant tan coat and a cozy gray beanie. While the actress’s destination was unknown, she seemed to be running some errands.Despite the cold weather, the star looked effortlessly chic and stylish, her hair tucked neatly under her hat, shielding her from the cold wind.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Benita (Julia Mayorga), the young woman at the center of “Rare Objects,” the third feature directed by Katie Holmes, has been through a transformative trauma. In the film’s opening moments, she’s discharged from a mental ward, where she’s been dealing with PTSD; a series of charged flashbacks show us what happened to her. In Manhattan, where she was a university student majoring in economics, she was approached at a bar by a seemingly nice guy, who had a drink with her, and when she went to the restroom he attacked her, shoving her inside and sexually assaulting her. She emerges from this crime a shell of her former self, and Holmes shoots the rape so that we experience how the shock and horror of it could undermine someone’s identity. Benita, out of the hospital, shows up at the home of her doting but quietly stern mother (Saundra Santiago) in Astoria, telling her that she’s taking a break from school; she says nothing at all about what happened to her. She’ll continue to say nothing — to anyone. As she steps back out into the world, hunting for a job, Julia Mayorga acts with a tentative fretful wariness that speaks to the trauma Benita won’t say out loud, and we assume that the movie is going to be about how she confronts that crisis.

Katie Holmes likes to research her roles. Years ago, while preparing for the romantic-comedy “First Daughter.” Holmes revealed that she called Jenna Bush Hager for some help. Bush Hager never called back.
