07/29/03
Despite Juliet Stevenon's attempt to bring cohesion to Pamela's emotional roller coaster life, it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs.
12/16/02
The film may venture into melodrama at times but it remains a moving portrait of the fragility of love and the cost of emotional closeness.
10/24/02
How can such a cold movie claim to express warmth and longing? In truth, it has all the heart of a porno flick (but none of the sheer lust).
11/14/02
The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.

Top CriticThere's just not much to munch on.

Based on a David Leavitt story, the film shares that writer's usual blend of observant cleverness, too-facile coincidence and slightly noxious preciousness.

Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp.
11/15/02
Chokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.
10/31/02
An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.
10/31/02
Top CriticI suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.
11/06/02
Top CriticThere's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.
10/25/02
The picture seems uncertain whether it wants to be an acidic all-male All About Eve or a lush, swooning melodrama in the Intermezzo strain.
10/24/02
Top CriticFood for Love endeavors and largely succeeds in lending equal weight to the emotional turmoil of its older and younger characters.
10/24/02
Top CriticA sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.
01/20/03
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.
