See more Ken R @RT36478503 04/26/2023 There were moments when this Danish story looked as if it might have offered more promise, but as it moves forward it loses vital pace - with too many pretentious asides, slotted within too many flashbacks. For a movie about food, very little of it looked particularly appetizing, and the script offers up somewhat trite situations to excuse several of its main character's rather foolish indulgences. While the cast works hard and some locations are good-looking, overall it's largely a disappointment, seeming to run twice as long as it actually did. The story quite heavily involves children, but with several suspect sex scenes, and crude dialogue throughout, it's certainly not recommended for young viewers. One scene has the main couple's traumatized little daughter being offered intense personal counseling, but this takes the form of group therapy (rather unlikely in this situation). The screenplay seems to bite off more than it can chew but will be a time passer for some. See more Glenda N @RT59709339 01/06/2023 It was a beautifully shot film, the acting was good. The plot was predictable and by the films end, I really didn't care what happened to the main characters See more Peter W @RT12077588 12/31/2022 Overall, serving a solid and highly entertaining three-course meal, A Taste of Hunger is a powerful story that focuses on the many themes of romance, marriage, parenthood, and pursuing your ultimate dreams. This film exceeded my expectations, and I found it quite compelling in its story and even mysterious in certain areas. Visually pleasing and loaded with solid and convincing performances from both Katrine Greis-Rosenthal and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, there is nothing overly disappointing about what's being served here apart from the film's second act which I found slowed everything right down, lingering on some themes and areas of the plot for far longer than I prefer. Nevertheless, I'm glad I dined with this feature. As the credits rolled, I was left feeling full and content with the gratifying experience. See more 02/03/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
