Some movies don’t just entertain you—they leave you feeling emboldened, ready to take on something new. Julie & Julia is one of those rare films. It’s not just a love letter to food but also to passion, persistence, and the joy of doing something purely for yourself. What I loved most was how Julie & Julia doesn’t sugarcoat success. It’s sweet but realistic. Julie never meets her idol, yet she connects with her in a deeper, more personal way—through their shared love of food and the drive to create something meaningful. The film also subtly captures the early days of blogging, marking a shift in how people shared their passions with the world.
