Scattered, unfocused documentary
This interview-based documentary queries bakers, artists, poets, historians, and everyday folk in the quest to learn more about one of the most iconic foods. However, since the film approaches the subject from various points of view, there's very little in the way of focus or point of view.
In the beginning, you're treated to lingering shots of freshly baked bread - and food porn would not be a bad direction for "Bread in the Bones." The film draws you in as we learn about bread-making during the late-19th and early 20th centuries, but bread lost its center as Wonder Bread took over - but the history of bread in this documentary is mostly hit-and-miss. I lost interest as a poet waxed about her personal history with bread.
