This movie is about a little girl being traumatized by her entire family. The food and the couple are incredibly boring and bland.

Nothing about the movie is original or interesting really.

When it starts it looks like they're going to focus on the food, but then they completely forget about it.

The main plot of the movie is supposed to be about this chef not paying attention to his family in the pursue of a Michelin star, but they wrote it in this weird way that nothing ever feels justified, what he does doesn't feel that bad, and the way his wife reacts seems super over the top.

The whole thing is very clumsy and bland. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is one of my favorite actors, and as always he has an excellent performance in this film. A Taste of Hunger was sold as Nikolai being the main actor, however the big star of this film is not him, but Katrine Greis-Rosenthal (Maggie). The plot developed throughout the film was completely wrapped around her character, leaving Carsten, Nikolai's character, in the background. There was no reason to create so much marketing over Nikolai's name and so little on Katrine, this is something that bothered me a lot, even though Nikolai is my favorite actor.

The story is interesting, with a justifiable personal desire of the character. The photography is wonderful, capturing beautiful elements and scenery from Denmark. I noticed some camera and continuation errors, but they are passable.

The plot developed throughout the film is quite warm until the middle, focusing exclusively on the desires, hopes and characteristics of the characters. And after all that, there's an interesting plot twist at the end of the movie, something that is, frankly, unimaginable.

Overall, A Taste of Hunger is a good movie to watch in the afternoon. It's not a film with an excellent plot, but it is... charismatic. The performances are excellent, soundtrack PERFECT, photography great, and a warm story.

I recommend.

Its definitely not the best movie but its not bad.it lucks on some fun . The actors caracter arent the top...Its not the best performance from Frederick......That why i give the movie the note 6.

A creative and driven Danish chef , who learned his trade in Japan , finally gains his own restaurant with a Michelin star as his ultimate goal. Great actors, storyline and attention to detail preparing his luxurious food.

Completely enthralling film; both the double barrelled leads are amazing and it's so beautifully shot that I've rewatched it several times.

The premise seems simple; how can one strive for perfection in one area without it detrimentally changing the rest of your life. If it's a shared dream can balance be found elsewhere?

I loved it because of it's honesty; for the non-parents out there SPOILER ALERT having children changes your relationship especially if they sleep best in your bed. If you pour most of your energy into your work then can you also be a great spouse and parent? I fear the ending might not be the end but then presumably both these successful actors have relationships too and they must have to travel and sacrifice to do what they do so perhaps it is possible.
