This was a delightful movie that left you with a good feeling as you departed,not always the case with a lot of today's movies.This really exceeded our expectations. The casting was superb..everyone was outstanding, and Meryl Streep really played Julia to a "T". We watched Julia during her hayday, and Meryl was amazing in her portrayal. Amy Adams performance was equally superb.as were all of the supporting actors. The flow of the movie was amazing...I literally sat down to watch it, and the next thing I knew, the last scene was on the screen. I'm not a real critic, but the screenplay has to be right at the top. One of the few times in recent years that the audience actually applauded when the show was over. Overall a really great movie.
