Full Plot Details

In a remote 19th-century Danish village, two sisters lead a rigid life centered around their father, the local minister, and their church. Both had opportunities to leave the village: one could have married a young army officer and the other, a French opera singer. Their father objected in each case, and they spent their lives caring for him. Many years later - their father is now deceased - they take in French refugee, Babette Hersant, who agrees to work as their servant. After winning the lottery, Babette wants to repay the sisters for their kindness and offers to cook a French meal for them and their friends on the 100th anniversary of their father's birth. It proves to be an eye-opening experience for everyone.

Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Heather BoernerA heartwarming feast for adults. May bore kids.
Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Philip FrenchIt's a flawless adaptation of the story Isak Dinesen (pseudonym of Karen Blixen) wrote for a bet that she could be published in the popular middlebrow Saturday Evening Post.
Q Network Film Desk - 9/10 by James Kendricka simple film of great feeling and generosity
Total Film - 8/10 by Philip KempAudran is luminous as the centre of a gentle, generous film about grace. Oh, and grub.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 8/10 by Tim BraytonUndoubtedly the warmest of all Scandinavian films about religion.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe acting is impeccable and the ambience suffused with delicate charm, but overall this doesn't aim at anything higher than Masterpiece Theatre or a Merchant-Ivory film.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawTwenty-five years on, the story is still charming and beguiling.
Cinemania - 8/10 by Dan JardineAt turns philosophical and sensual, this hauntingly elegaic film resonates.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Gene SiskelIt's a strangely moving film about talents and passions used and not used.
Old School Reviews - 7/10 by John A. Nesbitessentially a fable ... stands the test of time
