When Does "Julie & Julia" (2009) Take Place?
"Julie & Julia" is a historical fiction comedy film written by Nora Ephron that released August 7th, 2009. So when is "Julie & Julia" set?
It takes place in the years:
We know this because the real-world writer Julie Powell (1973-2022) appears and she passed on October 26th, 2022 AD and she is working for the Lower Manhattan Development dealing with the fallout of the famous and tragic September 11th terrorist attacks, which occurred on September 11th, 2001 in the real world. So it must be after September of 2001 AD and before October of 2022 AD.
2002 AD - 2003 AD /
1949 AD - 1961 AD

More specifically, Powell began her blog about cooking the recipes of Julia Child in August of 2002 AD. So it is certainly August of 2002 AD at this point.
Furthermore, the second narrative’s start includes a time and place setting subtitle reading "2002".
Additionally, the entire movie is intercut with a second narrative: the midlife of the real-world celebrity chef Julia Child (1912-2006) herself.
Furthermore, the first narrative's beginning includes a time and place setting subtitle of its own that reads "1949".
