RATING: PG-13
GENRE: Biography, Drama
GRADE: B-
I'm definitely a fan of cooking (well, eating mostly) and this movie just sparked my interest in the stories of these two women, who're different, but both have a passion for cooking.
The story itself is a very strong one, but it tends to lag on with both in their own way. I think I might've liked to see more of the cooking itself, than the end product or the disasters. Acting was good, along with the writing, but what they did show of the story seemed a bit more boring than it could have been.
I have to give amazing credit to the set designer, costume designer and cinematographer, because just to watch this film is a treat. To see the beauty of Paris and the details of the food makes this film delicious just to see.
Overall, a decent film, and if you want to spend a night thinking about food and cooking, this one is very interesting. Plus, if you're a fan of Julia Child, then you'll learn much of her life and how she got interested in cooking. B-. No questions asked.
