Leave your thoughts about Kitchen Stories.
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarMight evaporate if it were any drier. But it is a comedy, and a pretty charming one at that. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe movie's gentle humor and offbeat whimsy prove that humanity trumps bureaucratic foolishness, in Norway or anywhere else. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisMr. Hamer never goes for belly laughs, preferring instead the smiles of quiet recognition from viewers who appreciate a change of pace from all the slobbering in recent movies. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordKitchen Stories will make you laugh and make you cry. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittAlmost perfect, a film about loneliness that makes you feel less alone. |

| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittActed and directed with a savvy understatement that perfectly matches the eccentric story. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThere's nothing casual about the way this film has been put together, yet that painstaking care leads to laughter that is completely unrestrained. |
