Critics:  “Deliciously funny and warming fare, for which the amazing Meryl deserves her ridiculously overdue third Oscar.” - Empire Magazine

“Hollywood, famously, makes few movies aimed at older females because young men are much easier to satisfy. Julie & Julia is that rare film targeted at your mum, but we think you’ll enjoy it too.” - Heat Magazine

“Julie & Julia is among the most heart-warming, feelgood films of the year, and so joyously obsessed with food that it might be described as a feed-good movie.” - Daily Mail
