Critics Consensus

As epicurean as French haute cuisine, The Taste of Things indulges our palates with an exquisite seven-course love story for the soul.

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

The Taste of Things is a patient film but it’s bubbling with intensity and a great lust for the love of food and the sensuality of a lover.

Rated: 3.5/5

Stephen Romei

The Australian

This in an Epicurean epic about loving food, loving cooking and loving doing so for someone you love. There's nothing wrong with that but whether it needs to be served over eight courses is another question.

Rated: 2.5/5

The tantrums and theatricality attached to the cult of the celebrity chef are enough to kill my appetite, but I found an antidote in The Taste of Things.

Rated: 4/5

The movie absorbs us with its almost dialogue-free scenes and with the music created by the simple sound of kitchen utensils. [Full review in Spanish]

Newcity

Music would be superfluous in this symphony of touch and taste and unhurried heaven. The sound is the pulse of the process, of intense labor turned to immediate, sense-simmering result.

Rated: 10/10

I am a foodie, and no French food pretty well.I was bored out of my mind. Theres almost no sound in the music, except for the conversations and the deep breathing of the chef.
