Critic Reviews
-
Ruth Hessey, MovieTime, ABC Radio National
Ebullient, witty, and wonderfully warm-hearted Julie & Julia is a celebration of how to live life to the full.
-
Nina Caplan, Time Out
A film that's charming, funny - especially when Streep is on screen, broadcasting her superb impression of the tall, charismatic, high-pitched Child - but leaves you with a dissatisfaction with modern life that no culinary masterpiece can relieve.
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The main reason for seeing this is Meryl Streep's deft comic performance as the fluttery TV chef.
-
Charlie McCollum, San Jose Mercury News
Sometimes a meal can be less than perfect but still so thoroughly enjoyable that a missed ingredient here or a bit of overcooking there doesn't really matter.
-
David Denby, New Yorker
Julie & Julia is one of the gentlest, most charming American movies of the past decade.
