Julia played by Meryl Streep and Julie by Amy Adams, this movie is about two stories, about two different women but as the movie goes on you realize how similar both of them are, not only that but there's a Julie in each of us. Julie a soon to be 30 year old, goalless, hates her job, has written an unpublished book, feels like there's nothing she can do, gets an idea to start a blog by her husband Eric. To take up a challenge and write about it.
Cooking is something that transports her from her not so happening life, she decides to cook through 524 recipes from the book 'Mastering french cooking' written by Julia Child in the 60's and publish a blog about it. As she cooks and writes about it, the movie shows Julia's life. Travelling with her government employed husband to various countries she falls in love with Paris and it's food, 'Bonne Appetite'. Nothing's better than butter she says.
So as days go by Julie starts not only cooking like Julia, but starts feeling influenced by her. The movie shows a relationship which doesn't really exist between the two women but oh so beautifully rendered on the screen, as for Meryl Streep as always a splendid job done, after Mama Mia you'll fall in love with her once again.
