REVIEW: Julie & Julia

Plot: Julie & Julia is a comedy-drama written and directed by Nora Ephron. The film depicts events in the life of chef Julia Child in the early years in her culinary career, contrasting her life with Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child's cookbook during a single year.

Meryll Streep and Amy Adams do it again - this time in a less serious masterpiece. Previously this dynamic duo starred in Doubt, together with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis, forming one of the best casts of our time. Meryll Streep plays the role of the wonderfully lovable and delightfully eccentric Julia, while Amy Adams plays the very sincere and ambitious Julie. Both of them were made for this film. And once again, Alexandre Desplat, master musician, sprinkles his creative prowess all over with his 'signature sounds.' Julie & Julia is pleasurable and a delight to watch.

Rating: 4/5
