Julia (2021)

This documentary chronicles the life of Julia Child. I’ve probably watched too many biographical films lately as this one doesn’t at all stand out in form. It uses archival footage from her shows and appearances along with interviews from people who knew or were inspired by her to tell her story. Child is rather formidable as a subject and that is the documentary’s strength. She discovered her love for French cooking well into adulthood and only began sharing that love with the greater public through books and television much later, continuing with her work all the way to the end.
