Cantu's character as tech-obsessed idealist certainly comes across, though not the madcap sense of humor that propelled his busy kitchens. Go to Full Review

11/30/2016 Before there was Moto and the morning-show circuit phenomenon that was the innovative "miracle berry," Homaro Cantu was just a fry cook living out of his car...I had no idea just how generous of a man he was, and just how powerful his inner struggle was, until I watched this movie, which is not just enlightening but captivating. The man behind the camera set out to make one film, and found himself, by the end, making another film altogether, and he managed to create a narrative that is so emotionally compelling that it's impossible to look away. More than just a study of the restaurant world, it's the story of how ones past creates invisible scars that can be reopened at any moment. A must-see. See more Read all reviews
