Leave your thoughts about Eating.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldFood assumes near-religious importance in Mr. Jaglom's portrait of needy, anxious women who spend an entire day playing upon one another's insecurities, and waxing rhapsodic about well-remembered culinary thrills. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzGoes on for too long and becomes overcooked, though parts of it are tasty in an idiosyncratic way. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough largely shallow, Jaglom's high-concept serio-comedy is timely and has a few observant moments about women's food and beauty anxieties |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWith Eating the ever-idiosyncratic independent filmmaker Henry Jaglom continues his intimate, spontaneous, witty but always compassionate observations of compulsive, neurotic human behavior--and reveals his ongoing fascination with women. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatReveals America's obsession with the beauty myth and how it violates the self-esteem of women. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)H.J. KirchhoffThe movie makes its point early and often: That its characters are hung up on food, and eat for unhealthy and obsessive reasons. It's true. We know it's true. We wait in vain for additional insights. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzDirected by the touchy-feely Henry Jaglom, this is film as purgative -- a hens' party from hell, gorged on its own self-importance and damned hard to swallow. |
| User ReviewChloe Cthe 40 and 50 y/o actresses should switch roles: how can the 40 look like 60 and be celebrating her 40th birthday? poor casting. after this movie, everyone's gonna think we women all have issues with food and are always discontent. I disagree and am of the opinion that discontentment is a spiritual issue and not something that food or any emotional crutch can hope to address. finally, it gets too boring 2/3 into the movie to hear all the whining going on in that mad house!! |
