Summary
Reviewers say 'Delicious' is a German psychological thriller that tackles class disparity and social tension but disappoints with its predictable plot and underdeveloped characters. The film's pacing is inconsistent, and its social commentary is criticized as heavy-handed. While cinematography receives praise, it doesn't offset the weak storytelling. The ending is frequently cited as rushed and unsatisfying. Despite some positive notes on performances and visuals, the overall reception is largely negative, with many expressing frustration.
Featured reviews
I have no idea what Netflix was thinking with Delicious. If you enjoy beautiful shots of Provence, great-you'll get some nice scenery. But if you actually care about storytelling, logic, or a satisfying ending? Good luck.
This movie is a mess. It tries so hard to be artsy and provocative, but all it does is serve up a pile of nonsense disguised as highbrow cinema. The so-called "twist" is laughable, the pacing is a disaster, and the entire plot feels like it was written by someone who just wanted to shock the audience for the sake of it.
And let's talk about that ending-who approved this? It's rushed, borderline absurd, and completely destroys any sense of payoff. Not to mention, the characters act like they've never heard of logic. Did no one question the script? Were they just hoping we'd be too distracted to notice?
Honestly, Delicious is a fitting title-if you have a taste for disappointment.

A film that shows that Netflix has sunk deeper and deeper into the pit. There is nothing appealing or logical about the film. It has such a ridiculous and artificial network of relationships that if you get to the end of the film, it becomes clear that it is a waste of time.
A wealthy family living in Germany comes to their home in France for a vacation. One night, they think they hit someone with their car. When they get out of the car, they see a girl with a bleeding arm. They take her home and bandage her arm. Then the girl turns the lives of all the family members upside down.
When you write the subject, it may seem appealing. But the film is so ridiculous and boring. An ugly girl seduces them all for some reason. Plus, most of the family trusts the girl more than their own daughters. Plus, all the family members are easily prone to straying. The family, which acts so elite, becomes a toy in the hands of a group of scoundrels, etc. Etc.

You can tell where this movie is headed within the first 15 minutes. From there, it drags itself to the grand "reveal" like a wounded animal, testing your patience at every turn. By the time it finally gets there, you're practically begging for mercy-just wrap up this mess already. The cinematography is good (1 star is for cinematography only) and the actors do their job, but none of that can salvage a story that feels uninspired and, frankly, not worth the time. It's a frustrating, drawn-out exercise in patience.
Worse, the film seems to think it's clever, mistaking unnecessary complexity for depth. It drags you along, teasing some grand revelation that never quite delivers and by the time it does, you just don't care anymore.

Acting is OK but the story is so so bad. Throughout the movie I've counted grand total of 0 actions that made any sense. Family members turning against each other for lamest reasons, not a single person in the whole town realizing what's going on etc. It's like Salt Burn all over again...
The movie is thinking that it's some kind of a master piece when it's really a collection of unrelated and uncreative lines. It keeps on trying to wow you with some kind of revelation while you already know what's gonna happen beforehand. It's super predictable. I've guessed the whole movie except for maybe 1 plot.

Very bad. It is a stupid version of Parasites, but made by braindead people trying to be smart. Chatgpt would have done better. Please read others people reviews and skip that. Ridiculus, just small example: You hit someone, and instead of taking them to hospital you take it home ( you can be a good person, but take in a totally stranger when you have kids...) from there it just goes more and more stupid. Oh...i need to write 600 words...a waste of time...mmm it tries to give msg of eat the rich (rich are just rich but stupid so we can outsmart them)...i get it...im poor too...but i don't think that all rich people are so stupid...the only stupids are the one watching the film...me included.
