Leave your thoughts about Haute Cuisine.
| The PlaylistKimber MyersUnfortunately, the film itself is so determinedly middle-brow with little to dislike other than how eager it is to please and how wary it is of offending. Unlike Hortense’s flavorful cooking, Haute Cuisine is aggressively bland. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereA marvelous performance by Catherine Frot as Le President's private cook. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdNarrowness of focus keeps the movie from becoming bloated with self-importance, but it also leaves it feeling a little inconsequential. |
| RogerEbert.comHank SartinThis movie keeps up a vigorous pace and carries you along on the force of its self-confidence. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohDelicious in every way: a must for foodies, but also for anyone who wants to see beautiful work done on the screen, presented in the most prideful way. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonWriter-director Christian Vincent and co-writer Étienne Comar, aided by Frot's quiet intensity, imbue Hortense's quest to pull off culinary miracles with an urgency that's almost absurdly compelling, and all the more entertaining for it. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonald"Haute Cuisine" has no grand conflict or important message or really anything much that you'll remember past dinnertime, but it has abundant charm and it leaves you hungry, which is all we ask of a food movie. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonA small pleasure, especially for those of us who love our "food movies." |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenIts restraint is its strength. The focus on a woman's passionate hard work without need of marital-status back story is refreshing. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordCatherine Foote, as Hortense, and the outstanding production - lensing, set design, costume, locations - are the stars of this interesting and informative movie. |
