As college professor and writer Harry sits quietly in the coffee shop of his tight-knit Oregon community, the local residents all around him all become swept up in the magical mischief of love.

Meanwhile, frazzled real estate agent Diana becomes ensnared in a taboo affair with a married man David, lovely newcomer Chloe attempts the formidable task of romancing troubled soul Oscar, and Harry's own wife, Esther, affectionately tries to get through to her husband as he wrestles with the pain of losing a loved one.
Leave your thoughts about Feast of Love.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA positively enchanting romantic drama adapted from a novel by Charles Baxter that speaks volumes about love and challenges us all to grow a bigger heart. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe bodies are athletic, young, and white, and yet this is not the sport sex we usually see in Hollywood movies. It's the sex of adulation. Sometimes the director Robert Benton goes heavy on the hydraulic positioning, but his movie is scarcely mechanical. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyOne of those rare cinematic treats that, for most of us, will go down easily and leave us with a sweet, mellow aftertaste. |
| TimeRichard CorlissSexy, funny, sad and defiantly romantic, Feast of Love is the rare movie to cuddle up to. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerContemplates the bodies of beautiful young people in order that it may more fully appreciate the predicament old people find themselves in. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookDirector Robert Benton and screenwriter Allison Burnett tell a sobering, adult-geared tale of love's highs, lows and maddening twists and turns. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongA bit too involved and convenient at times, but still classy and heartfelt all the way. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonIf it only shows how love fits into people's lives in our liberated present times, that's enough for one night. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubThe multiple-story-line family drama is too cliche-ridden to be considered a great movie. But it's still a very good one, filled with excellent performances, entertaining writing and a final few scenes that are quite moving - even if you can see most of them coming at the end of the first act. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFeast of Love's greatest strength is that it's about people and involves universal emotions. It's not great art but it is enjoyable soap opera. |
