I was hesitant to view this film, thinking it would be like so many others of the genre -- boring, saccharin navel-gazing tales with terrible acting. But, this film dispelled that opinion immediately. I was impressed with the acting of the main characters. The four principles were wonderful to watch, they deftly handled the nuances their characters needed to convey. The writing, direction, and cinematography are exceptional.

While films that bounce from one time to another sometimes prove confusing, this film does it in a manner that is easy to follow.

This was a truly enjoyable film, from beginning to end.

What's the point of this show? The original "Chopped" has chefs of all ages, young included. You knew the host and the judges are more than qualified to be reviewing the chef's submissions. This is just "trying too hard" to be "cool" and comes across disingenuous. The host is beyond annoying, the judges are questionable. I don't see the point of this, there's nothing new here, there's nothing compelling or interesting. It is simply pushing this out for some pandering to a "new audience", but sorry, I don't think they'll get the audience they want this way. The pandering is too obvious, too cheap.
