Review of Julie & Julia (2009) by Amheretojudge — 14 Jun 2018

A bit undercooked yet utterly appetizing..

Julie And Julia Even though the performance is up to the mark, the chemistry among the characters isn't impactful or communicated to the audience and the primary reason would be the two different tales set back in a similar background yet fails to connect each other. As much as writing is appreciative and finely detailed, it certainly isn't smart or sincere enough to breed the crisp out of it. It is rich on technical aspects like background score, sound department and art design but could have been edited a lot better with appropriate supervision. Nora Ephron; the screenwriter and director, has done a plausible work but fails to project the anticipated vision on screen which is clearly visible as she sweats behind the camera with all her effort to factor into the bigger picture. There never was any doubt on performance level and the expectations are fulfilled completely by both the lead actresses (Amy Adams and Meryl Streep) in their parallel role. The camera work is immensely pleasing especially all the recipe cooking, which is shot beautifully. Julie And Julia is a bit undercooked yet utterly appetizing on terms of character's perspective as the audience feels disconnected throughout the course of it despite of having multiple mutual things to connect to.
