What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this portrait of a young Anthony Bourdain. The movie gets praised for its vibrant, funny look at a restaurant kitchen and standout performances, especially from Dominic Sessa as the lead and Antonio Banderas as the chef. But the actual connection to the real Bourdain's story feels thin and underwhelming to a lot of viewers. While Matt Johnson's direction and the film's visuals are widely liked, the divided reaction means you're either in for a fun coming-of-age kitchen drama or you're left wanting a much deeper character study.
