While I was conscious of Meryl Streep being Julia, she caught just the right amount of effervescence or joie de vivre that personified my perception of who Julia Child was and is. I loved it.
The most important thing, the film made me hungry and want to cook and cook outside the box, adventurous food. I do not own Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but this almost made me want to buy it.

Completely agree with your assessment of this movie. I liked the Julia parts so much, I'll probably buy it and skip Julie.
Go for it on
The Art of French Cooking. The introduction is quite interesting and the whole volume just makes a kitchen look classic.
