Well, as a language-teaching professional, I have to say that Adams' approach to teaching the squid English is deeply suspect, but in all other respects this is an impressive film that is not afraid to credit its audience with intelligence. Possibly the only film featuring both the US army and Jeremy Renner in which he does not play some sort of special-forces sharpshooter. Perhaps a little bit too slow, chilly, and cerebral to really succeed as an entertainment, but still well worth watching, even if it is ultimately easier to admire than to like.

As much as I love Meryl Streep and I truly think she is an amazing actress and deserves every bit of credit she is given, I think the true star of this film was Amy Adams. I think that she is magnificent in her complexity, in her humanity, in her portrayal of such a happenstance. Julie Powell decided to do something on a whim and she ended up with this and Amy Adams plays that very well. I think that she makes it easy to feel inspired and moved. You go through the stages of elation and grief and exhaustion with her and you almost wish you could be there to comfort her. But Eric says everything you never could.
I think this is a really special film. I'm sad it took me this long to watch it.
