Julia Child deserves a documentary as enjoyable, enthusiastic, and relatable as she was. With Julia, she gets it. agracru's review:
Julia Child, whether you have read her books, watched her on television or caught the CliffsNotes version of her extraordinary career in Nora Ephron’s, Julie Cohen and Betsy West’s new documentary, tracks Child’s path from her Pasadena youth, to her courtship and marriage to Paul Child, to her return to the U.S., armed with French cooking techniques and a powerful need to share them with the American public, as if to say she was less a human being and more a meteor.
Ultimately, Child was both. She still is, frankly. We’re still feeling the shockwave impact of her influence on American culture—popculinary—six decades after she and Paul moved into their house in Cambridge, Massachusetts and published her cookbook,, co-written by Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle; 59 years after she appeared on WGBH-TV to promote the book and whip up a tasty omelet forThe French Chefcelebrates Child, as it should.
It simply isn’t possible to make a movie about Julia Child without making a movie with an intense love of food that lazy types will half-assedly call “porn.”. West and Cohen’s cinematographers, Claudia Raschke and Nanda Fernandez Brédillard, and editor, Carla Gutierrez, weave together sumptuous, sensual and calming sequences of dishes in progress; that tart in particular showcases the laser-focused craft required of great cooks while also driving home that food can be, frankly, erotic.
