This was a beautifully shot movie. The cinematography, especially in the cooking scenes, was extraordinary. There wasn't much of a storyline to it, but sometimes tension and plot are extraneous.
If you love food and exquisite cuisine, you'll appreciate this movie. If food is food to you and you think there's too much time spent on simple sustenance, then I suspect you'll find this film tedious and maybe even boring.
If I'm being honest I'm somewhere in the middle. While I appreciate a good meal, I don't think I have a refined enough palate to know the difference between a well cooked meal and haute cuisine. I'm the same way with wine. I know a good bottle from swill, but can I differentiate a good bootle from a great bottle? Probably not.
Anyway, I enjoyed this movie. 7 out of 10 for me.
