Comment
This film follows the lives of two women, one in the past and one in the present. One is Julia Child (Meryl Streep) who wrote a cook book in the 1960's whilst living in France that was a huge success in America and Julia Powell (Amy Adams) who is a contemporary woman who decides to cook every recipe in the book in a year and post her exploits on a blog. Meryl Streep gives a good performance as the woman learning French cuisine well supported by Stanley Tucci as her husband. Amy Adams also gives a good performance as the charming young woman who wants to do something with her life and finds fulfilment in cooking.Nor Ephron plays on the contrast between one being on television and one blogging on the internet.
