Really nice movie and fun to watch. However it could have ended a bit earlier. I found the last 15 a bit unnecessary. Also, although it’s moving up until the last 15 minutes, at the end (in my opinion) it makes an expected twist that for me ruined the whole “moving” part.

We now know the French were cooking crack when they submitted this film over Anatomy of A Fall. This is some of the most cinematic food trapped inside a borning ass movie. At the one hour mark I felt every minute of this movie. Thankfully I was only one in the theater so I was able to pace around as this movie dragged on one course at a time. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, but never feels like it gets anywhere past the surface. I will gladly forget this movie, just like I do with what I had for dinner most nights.

Imagine a period piece Chefs Table, with a simplistic romance subplot woven between the layers of masterful cooking and beautiful imagery. A movie that reminds us that cooking and food preparation, no matter how reserved or complex, is the ultimate expression of appreciation and love. Lovely, cozy viewing, but obviously not for everyone, especially those after a multifaceted narrative or complex interpersonal drama.

A couple of seasoned cooks rediscover their passion in the Loire Valley in the late 19th century. Sounds like the premise of the sentimental movies my Grandma used to watch, but instead, we are talking about a work of a rare sensibility, delicacy, and balance. Like the dish at the center, the magic More

"Dodin" (Benoît Magimel) and "Eugénie" (Juliette Binoche) have a synergy in the kitchen that creates mouthwatering and innovative culinary treats for their friends. She does the cooking, he more the design; she shuns the limelight, he is more gregarious - but it's a professional relationship that More
