"Julianne Moore's agent is probably an accurate portrait of how Clarice would have changed in 10 years." Roger Ebert CHICAGO SUN -TIMES "Julianne Moore was about the best Foster substitute you could hope for and she nails the accent, but the script doesn’t give her enough to make the role her own. This Starling is just bait, pushed around by her bosses and manipulated by Twin Freaks Lecter and Verger." Dan Jolin TOTAL FILM "Clarice, in the interim, has become even more brittle, chafing under the sexist reins of the FBI; Moore, a finer actress than Foster, albeit tied to a woefully underwritten part, personifies what Foster's Clarice might have become." Jon Anderson NEWSDAY "Moore plays Clarice Starling, replacing Jodie Foster, who had too much class for the sequel. The casting change is for the best. As an actress, Foster is good at playing problem solvers, but no one is better than Moore at depicting anguish and emotional paralysis, Clarice's mental state 10 years later." Mick LaSalle SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "Moore, chillier than Jodie Foster, but with the same woeful delicacy of perception, brings Clarice into a new, even more fragile phase (the character is coming off a botched drug raid for which she was unfairly blamed), and when she and Lecter finally connect, by near happenstance, on a cell phone, it's a great, fateful moment." Owen Gleiberman ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Though Julianne Moore is a fine actress, she doesn't relate the same kind of fear Jodie Foster portrayed - I never worried about her. Understandably, the character has had time to mature and hardened." Ross Anthony HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD "Credit should be given to Julianne Moore. Like many moviegoers, I was concerned that the movie wouldn't fly when Jodie Foster turned down the opportunity to reprise the role of Clarice Starling--a character she made famous. But Moore, putting on a slight southern drawl, is good as the intrepid FBI agent--so good that Foster's absence is never noticeable." Andrew Manning RADIO FREE ENTERTAINMENT "Julianne Moore, who in the ’90s emerged as American moviedom’s best hope for a classy successor to Meryl Streep, assumes Jodie Foster’s role as FBI agent Clarice Starling, a straight-arrow FBI agent with a messy psychological profile. Moore is just fine as Starling a decade later, much more experienced in her work but still taking grief from her colleagues and boss because she is not only female but, in their eyes, a dish with a trailer-trash pedigree."
