Julia Reviews
Thank you PBS for Sesame Street, tennis, and the French Chef. Julia shows the machinations behind the scenes and where PBS (allegedly) started to go wrong, so wrong.
Overall, the documentary of Julia Child is a beautiful experience. While I'm not a lover of cooking personally, it still got to me. Julia was a loveable and amazing human being. It wasn't just about her food, but also about how she was an inspiration as a writer and someone who influenced many people worldwide (especially women). Julia is also a love story, highly educational and filled with heartfelt moments and laughter. I adored this feature and only had a few minor issues relating to the third act, which is vague on key details and rushes towards its touching finale.
Julia (2021): Documentary of Julia Child. Like a Wikipedia article on film, it covers her whole life but barely captures the intellectual rigor that made her cook book a best seller and the joie de vivre that made her a star 온라인카지노추천 chef. Still, a good place to start. B-
I would’ve gave it 5 stars, but I felt it was unnecessary to bring up their political views. The movie could’ve done just fine without it.
A fine documentation story-telling Julia's life with an appropriately-heavy emphasis on her 온라인카지노추천 life, her devoted marriage, and love for French cooking using cuts from her shows and interviews with people who knew and worked with her. By her own words, Julia comes across as a solid feminist who believed both in women as homemakers as well as women with careers, and made advances in spite of a male-dominated industry. Know that this is a CNN production, and as such, prepare yourself for an overly-heavy peppering of political discourse: the reveling in Julia's emancipation from her conservative family, caricaturization of her Republican Conservative parents as ignorant, angry and anti-culture, and propping up as an flag-carrier of nouveau liberal ideals. Outside of these unessential parentheticals, Julia is an entertaining and uplifting biography,
Hubby and Wife date documentary night brings us 'Julia' a wonderful documentary from the makers of 'RBG'. It does a really sound job of chronicling the life of The French Chef Julia Child from a mostly positive approach. The chef inspired not only many people to cook, but also the 30 minute cooking show. There isn't a ton of interviews with the cooking icon, but it's supplemented by people who knew her interviews. If you're a fan of the subject of cooking, Child, or Docs this is a fast-paced film with a tasty finish! Hubby: 8.2/Wife 8.2 (1st time ever)
Not sure why this has gotten such good reviews. Her life just isn't very interesting. She liked to cook French Food. Wrote a best selling cookbook about it. (Later wrote more.) Had a good marriage. Got a long-running 온라인카지노추천 show. (My mom used to watch her show but never cooked a thing that Julia prepared.) Overcame cancer. But it's all kinda slow and not in any way provcative, mind-changing, illuminating. Was only a couple notches above watching paint dry, for me. Have no idea why it is intriguing to many.
Great documentary of Julias life and influence on American cooking. Her show on PBS was the beginning of the cooking shows we now see.
We enjoyed the documentary/bio of Julia Child very much.I had no idea what an affect she had on getting people interested in cooking and getting them to eat well.
Refreshing, joyful, interesting, informative
Well told and entertaining account of Julia's life and influence on American cooking.
Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Julia Child was an icon, a delight, a force. She exuded pure love and total commitment in her life and passions. Highly recommend this movie, ESPECIALLY for those who never knew her. Everyone should know Julia Child!
Such a marvelous documentary of the life and National Treasure that is Julia Child
entertaining movie gave me a whole new appreciation for Julia Child and all she did to spark an interest in food and cooking in the US.
well done review of an interesting life. I wasn't aware Julia was an activist for Planned Parenthood and Aids. She certainly paved the way for women to be taken seriously, especially in the culinary arts.
Wonderful movie about Julia Child! Excellent music! Nothing I didnt like!
I saw JULIA in a packed mid-day screening... and there was so much enthusiasm and laughter! It's an excellent documentary about a remarkable persona. Kudos to all the makers.
Excellent! Just finished My life in France this is a great companion to it!
Julia Child is indeed the legend in the culinary world! It is interesting to see her life journey in the film. How impressive she worked till she was 91 years old that shows how much she loved her career. Well done documentary about her life.
great biography. cultural icon and wonderful character.
