Critics' reviews

"Meryl Streep — at her brilliant, beguiling best — is the spice that does the trick for the yummy Julie & Julia. Written and directed with sharp wit and unforced wonder (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"This middling melange of Child biopic and contempo dramedy feels overstuffed and predigested as it depicts two ladies who found fame and fulfillment in their respective eras"

Justin Chang: Variety
"One of the gentlest, most charming American movies of the past decade"

David Denby: The New Yorker
"A consummate entertainment that echoes the rhythms and attitudes of classic Hollywood, it's a satisfying throwback to those old-fashioned movie fantasies where impossible dreams do come true."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"One can’t help but wonder if Ephron would’ve been better off focusing exclusively on Child: She’s simply more interesting screen company."

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"It hooks you up, happily, to your inner top chef."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"Spiced with plenty of humor and affection."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
