Admirable film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Juliette grew up in England and was formally educated as a veterinarian. Unfortunately, she discovered that her training didn't teach her how to cure animals of many ailments she encountered. So, she rekindled her semitic and nomadic ancestry and travelled the mediterranean and later the world learning from others how to care for herself, her family and the animals of the world. She wrote books about her herbal treatments (rosemary is her favorite) for ailments which western allopathic veterinary science didn't cure. The movie becomes an inspiring story about what you can do with your life but also propaganda for leading a vegetarian and simple existence. The thing that bothered me most was the narration which biased me against Juliette (because it was automatically preachy and aggrandizing) until she could speak for herself. Well, if you are looking for an inspiring documentary you don't have to look further!
