When word of this film began coming out I thought I wouldn't be
interested in seeing it. I have been such a fan/disciple of Julia's
since the days of her first tv show on the Boston PBS channel that I
wouldn't need to see Meryl Streep trying to imitate her voice. But
the reviews and reactions have been so positive that I've changed my
mind. Maybe I can find a matinee showing and then stop at a market on
the way home to get to work in my kitchen. Sales of her books have
skyrocketed in recent days, which will I think benefit some charities
as well as creating some newly enthusiastic cooks.. -aem

The review I heard on MPR (Fresh Air ?) said that Ms Streep doesn't
imitate Julia as much as "channels" her. The clip I heard was
positively uncanny!
