Food of Love(Menja d'amor)

The A.V. Club by

A reserved coming-of-age story that overcomes flat acting and one-dimensional scene-building thanks to its lively plot.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr

Tossed by successive waves of floridity and biliousness, Food of Love finally washes up on the shores of camp.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

Stevenson's performance is at once clueless and fiercely committed, a volatile combination that pays off in the best scene: the mother of all PFLAG meetings.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

Crushingly airless film -- Food chokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Once the excellent Rhys and Corunder are off-screen, the film's overall staginess and the inconsistent work of the supporting cast become glaringly apparent.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.

Austin Chronicle by Kimberley Jones

To say the least, the chemistry is lacking; equally unconvincing is the all-British cast’s attempts at American accents.

New York Post by Megan Lehmann

Some solid performances and pretty scenery don't do much to conceal that there's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

Elusive and compelling.
