"Ramen: Whispered in anticipation or delight, it's enough to stir the emotions" is how the film's voice-over narration begins. It gets more effusive from there. Apr 5, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Although "Ramen Heads" is an interesting glance at the craft of ramen, it ends up feeling lukewarm. Mar 20, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A brisk if uneven celebration of the soup-and-noodle staple that will nevertheless have you scheduling a post-viewing trip to your closest bowlful. Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review…

Over-narrated and self-serious, this documentary allows its good intentions to pave the way to a tepid tale. Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review…

If Tomita Ramen is Mount Olympus, then the structurally scattershot and aesthetically clunky Ramen Heads is rooted more in the weeds. Apr 12, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

I assume it was Shigeno's intent to share his love for ramen with the world, but the final product projects more like a propaganda piece. Apr 8, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

However, as a character and a vessel for storytelling, Tomita doesn't really hold much interest. He's an exacting chef and a taskmaster who runs an extremely successful restaurant. That's about it. Apr 3, 2018 | Full Review…

The story of the ramen empire is one of constant rise with no fall in sight. In Ramen Heads, it's told through the seemingly narrow lens of one proponent of that dish that is so much more than a noodle soup. Jan 26, 2018 | Full Review…
