*Julia* is a 2021 American documentary film about the life of American chef Julia Child, who was famous for introducing French cuisine to the American public.

I grew up watching Julia Child’s cooking shows on PBS, so I was definitely intrigued when I saw the thumbnail of this documentary on my dashboard.

What I’ve enjoyed the most about this documentary was how intimate it felt. I feel like I’ve gotten to learn so much more about Julia, in terms of her childhood, her life before she became a chef, her hardships, and more. I also appreciated the clips of people that knew her personally and the handwritten notes/letters from Julia; it added more authenticity to the documentary.

Overall, I thought this was a wonderful documentary, and I’ve learned just how amazing Julia was. I actually rewatched this with my partner (first watch was solo), and I’d be willing to rewatch it again!
