Great food, beautiful food.
A frustrating watch because it hints at various plot threads only for those to dissipate like the steam that bathes everyone’s faces in the opening scenes. La Binoche and Magimel are quite good and lend things some approximation of emotional heft, but I feel like the script lets them down. I would have preferred that it simply dwell in the transcendent moments in the cooking scenes. Also, justice for Violette, she did not deserve such condescension!
