5	The most beautiful and fascinating film I've ever seen!
5	So beautiful.
5	Delicious film and superbly shot. The pear deserved an Oscar.
5	Held my attention throughout - amazing film. Spellbinding.
5	Wonderful film exploring theme of love in older age. Photography was exquisite and the opening scene was choreographed to perfection. Loved it.
5	What a poignant exploration of grief and the power of food to feed all of our senses as well as our stomachs. The opening scenes was like a beautifully choreographed dance in the preparation of the first film, and so beautifully shot that you can almost taste and smell the food. The film's emotional depth and beautiful storytelling make it a really worthwhile watch.
5	Very original theme. Fascinating to watch the dedication to detail and concentration of flavours in cooking. Partnership of the main characters beautifully interpreted.
5	What an entirely unique & unusual film. Only the French could make a film that was entirely about food or indeed a film like that. You can always tell how a film is appreciated when there is total silence at the end.
5	A sensual feast of food with cooking as the 'action' sequences which I looked forward to & loved.
5	Ambrosia! Nectar for this evening's audience. The sheer pleasure of good food in a beautifully sensuous film. Another selection triumph!
5	5+++ Beautiful. Exceptional. A paean to love, passion & food! Pure poetry. Exquisite cinematography, acting, food preparation & service. Moving & left me in tears.
5	Excellent. Loved the sensuous food. Mesmerising cooking - a delight.
5	Lovely! I like food. It just showed the difference between us and the French. Beautiful too!
5	My inner Foodie is weeping with every joyous mouthful - what a wonderful film.
5	Unique in all my film experiences! Totally beautiful and allusive. Sensory world of food made exquisite.
5	The French! What more needs to be said?
5	A sensual film of two people showing their love through food. Beautifully acted and filmed.
5	Such a lovely story. Glad I ate before or I would have been fainting. No violence, just sadness.
5	Wonderful film. Really appreciated how quiet & contemplative it was. Thought some members of the audience were squeamish about some of the food preparation scenes.

4	Very graceful and beautifully shot and acted.
4	A gentle picture-book pretty love story, one up on Master Chef! A celebration of gourmet feasting.
4	A very unusual film. Everything sensuous about it - even the food. All a labour of love.
4	Interesting. Not a gripping or exciting or even interesting film. Although the actors did not have many lines to learn only an accomplished actor/ess could express so many feelings. Beans on toast will never be the same again.
4	Extravagant and delicious with wonderful attention to detail but like the food very indulgent by the director. The acting though excellent did not eclipse the food!
4	A hymn to the art of French cuisine! Beautifully made - some scenes were like an Impressionist painting - and I really appreciated the loving care which went into the preparation of the dishes. But overly long and self-indulgent.
4	Well, I thought the cooking was the introduction - not the whole film! It was beautifully produced and acted, but I got fed up with all the food!

3	Rather drawn out showing all the cooking at first. Later more interesting. Sad ending.
3	Too much of an obsession over the essence of food. Well acted but slow. I would not want to see it again.
