A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life.







People are loving this look at a young Anthony Bourdain. Dominic Sessa, playing 19-year-old Tony, gets praised for perfectly capturing that signature, simmering charisma. The film's chaotic kitchen energy, led by Antonio Banderas's magnetic Chef, is a total win, with the acting, visuals, and sharp humor all scoring high marks. The biggest sticking point is the story itself, which some find a bit too familiar for an origin tale, but director Matt Johnson's vibrant execution makes the summer in Provincetown feel alive.
