Being Julia (2004)

As successful London theatre actress Annette Bening approaches middle age, she finds herself disillusioned personally and professionally. Bening shines in the role, but that’s all there really is to recommend. It’s rather tropeful and I was bored until the climax. It was at that high point that it becomes memorable enough that it made me realize I almost certainly have seen the film before.
