The Hundred-Foot Journey Reviews

This is comfort food for those who like their movies all warm and fuzzy.

The landscape shots are beautiful but nothing out of the ordinary. All this said, watch the movie for Puri, Mirren and some super food shots. It’s feel-good with not much of a soul. Much like cooking without dirtying your hands.

Here is a film that is not apologetic about its obsession with aesthetics. If in cooking presentation is paramount then so be it in movie-making too.This film celebrates the art of looking good.

The only drawback is that while plot is sugary sweet and engaging, the narrative lacks drama.

...is not just about food. It serves more than that. Instead of being just another movie about food, it nourishes the craving of movie-lovers in an entertaining way. The movie emphasizes the fact that good food is served with emotional attachments.
