The TVI Take
Nora Ephron's 2009 dual-narrative film about food blogger Julie Powell cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, anchored by Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. The structural commitment to letting domestic-cognitive register (the cooking-as-actual-craft sequences) be the film's actual subject is canonical late-Ephron work.
Streep's Julia Child performance is canonical biographical-comedy register.
