As documentaries go, this one was long overdue. Celebrating the life of one of the greatest most passionate chefs to grace our time, "Julia" tapped into nostalgic archival footage and delivered a crisp perfectly 'cooked' documentary that was as meticulous and delicious as Julia Child's culinary brilliance.
Julie Cohen and Betsy West directed this amazing addition to the hall of celebrity documentaries. Various prominent names featured in it, including José Andrés, Jacques Pepin, Ina Garten, André Cointreau, Susy Davidson, Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch, François Simon, and others.
Rachel Portman's musical scoring was amazing. Great work all round by every crew member who was part of this project. Special shout-out to Carla Gutierrez's editing, which made the docu flow like a charm.
This documentary did more than capture a TV sensation and cookbook author, it highlighted the hard work of a woman who became a legend, and for all the right reasons. Few people will deny that Julia Child changed the way we see food - especially French cuisine - and the business behind it. She was, and still is, an inspiration to women.
Let's also not forget that this masterful chef was a true foodie at heart, thus inspiring the so-called trend way back when, when social media was not yet conceived. Julia Child is most certainly an icon and cultural phenomenon.
If you haven't seen Meryl Streep's take on this outstanding person, go check out the movie "Julie & Julia". Meanwhile, add this documentary to your watchlist - it was evocative and excellent in every way.
