About the film:
Official Selection of the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child’s surprising path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” to her empowering story of a woman who found fame in her 50s, and her calling as an unlikely television sensation.
“an affectionate and respectful but also quietly sensuous tribute”
—Leslie Felperin for The Hollywood Reporter
