Reviews for Food of Love
Top CriticChokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.
10/31/02
A poignant and compelling story about relationships, Food of Love takes us on a bumpy but satisfying journey of the heart.
10/26/02
There's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.

There's just not much to munch on.

The film sounds like the stuff of lurid melodrama, but what makes it interesting as a character study is the fact that the story is told from Paul's perspective.

Food for Love endeavors and largely succeeds in lending equal weight to the emotional turmoil of its older and younger characters.

Top CriticTakes a pretty serious swing toward the melodramatic in its second half.
