A warm and affectionate project that adores its subject and serves as cinematic comfort food.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2022

A robust documentary portrait of the late 온라인카지노추천 chef from directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2022

Feels like a redundant tribute, with something very indulgent about the “foodie” rhapsodising.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 7, 2022

"Julia," a brisk documentary survey of Julia Child's life, is warmly admiring. This makes sense, as there's lots to admire.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 24, 2021

"Julia" is full of irresistible clips and interviews with its subject, trilling and burbling with her trademark enthusiasm, reminding her viewers that anything was possible and that mistakes are how cooks learn.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 24, 2021

Julia is a thorough documentary, concise in a way that's ideal for the casual couch surfer. Like Child, the film's a delight, but slightly unlike her, Julia doesn't bring any new techniques to the table of biographical documentaries.

A leader in America's food movement is rightfully praised and immortalized in a doc that is a pleasure to watch. You can almost smell the Coq au Vin simmering on the stove.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 23, 2021

Lots of footage from her earliest PBS shows in the 1960s plus luscious recreations of such staples as boeuf bourguignon and pear tart make for irresistible viewing.

In this affectionate portrait, Child's loves, losses and triumphs, along with her skill as a businesswoman, come into sharp focus.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 18, 2021

A documentary that examines Child's life and influence on American cuisine and culture, goes down like a sweet crepe Suzette, and thankfully does little to complicate a lifelong fan's feelings.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 17, 2021

"Julia"captures Child's magnetism and offers a solid overview of herlife, but doesn't take us beyond her well-known,well-loved public persona.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2021

As much as I'm mildly grousing about this film, I did wind up ordering the cookbook.

| Nov 13, 2021

With affection, candor and menu inspiration, the documentary reconstructs the lively, intelligent, curious woman who found her voice and vocation relatively late in life. Bon appetit!

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 12, 2021

Fans of Child and her style of cooking will be well rewarded by this cheerful documentary.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 12, 2021

For those of us who grew up with her cooking shows on public television, seeing her here in all her gawky eccentricity is good for the soul.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2021

Julia won't be the most groundbreaking meal you've ever had, but you'll leave the table comforted and satisfied, in a state of bliss that Child would very much approve of.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 12, 2021

As breezy primers go in a life that's as full as it gets, this collection of the archival and the anecdotal, with the occasional preparing of dishes as mouth-watering interludes, is decidedly more feast than fast food.

| Nov 11, 2021

"Julia" is an apt tribute to a life well-lived and well-fed.

| Nov 11, 2021

The experience begins to feel a little rushed and undercooked... It's still a satisfying and fun tribute to someone whose impacts on modern food culture and celebrity are still being felt. Just don't go in hungry.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 9, 2021

Julia is well-crafted, despite not offering much in terms of inventive or unique documentary storytelling.
