This documentary is great both cinematically and educationally. The detail and effort put into this documentary is seen throughout the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Julia<\/em> is a new documentary about famous cook, author and television personality, Julia Child. It follows her through the struggles of being a woman in the film industry, her 12 year struggle to publish <em>Mastering the Art of French Cooking<\/em>, and her fight with breast cancer. This film talks about how Ms. Child changed the cooking industry, and America in general &#8211; forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This film takes an extra deep dive into Child\u2019s life, going from where and when she was born all the way through her cooking career, up to her tragic death. It has great detail, exceptional archival footage and sound bites, which add to its interest. Some of the information about Julia is so fascinating that I really just had to learn more. She really was a hilarious person! Julia was such a character and that is what makes this film really fun to watch. My favorite part is when it talks about Child\u2019s love life, because I really love learning that Julia was such an independent woman. She didn\u2019t get married until she was 35! I thought that was really cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/julia.a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1388\" width=\"224\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>Julia<\/em> is that dedication and hard work will help you achieve your goals. Julia had some struggles as a woman in the television industry, but with her hard work, she was able to overcome all of it. There are a few sexual references in this documentary and a very small bit of profanity to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Julia<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. The film releases in theaters November 12, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julia tells the story of the legendary cookbook author and television superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even about women.
