Julie & Julia (12A)

A comedy-drama interweaving a biopic of Julia Child, the first American woman to study at the esteemed Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris who then introduced authentic French cuisine to her ’50s homeland, with the true story of Julie Powell, who wrote a 2002 blog about her attempt to work through all 524 recipes in Child’s seminal tome Mastering The Art Of French Cooking in just 365 days.
