‘Julie & Julia’
Based on a semi-autobiographical book of the same name, Julie & Julia tells the tale of two women who both stubbornly carve out a space within food writing—albeit in very different ways. Meryl Streep plays Julia Child, the now-famous author of the seminal Mastering the Art of French Cooking, as she begins culinary school in Paris and puts her determination to task. Amy Adams plays a frustrated government employee who funnels her ennui into a blog that details her journey through every single recipe of Child’s aforementioned work. Watch for some of Meryl Streep’s best moments and some of Amy Adams’ worst.
