Original-Cin by Kim Hughes
Its warm-heartedness, positivity, and consistently striking visuals are a pleasant counter to ugly January days and nights, and a reminder that a compelling story well told is… wait for it… a can’t-miss recipe for success.

Time Out by Phil de Semlyen
The film’s themes of inclusion, family and multiculturalism may be broadly delivered, but they definitely don’t all miss the mark.
The Guardian by Cath Clarke
There’s nothing to fault in the performances, but the characters are filo pastry thin and slightly bland-tasting – like less complicated, less interesting versions of actual people.
Screen Daily by Wendy Ide
Love Sarah is a well-meaning exploration of female friendship, and of the cultural significance of cuisine. Yet the under-developed story leaves us with the sense that this is little more than a foodie instagram feed with a narrative attached.
