Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenThe movie has a great banquet, and it does give you a sense of Chiang's personality and history, but it falls far short in the telling of Chiang's amazing story.
User Review - 4/10 by Nick U1/19/15 Amazon Prime More interesting stories about China than about Chinese cooking. Not nearly as good as Jiro loves Sushi. Would have been much more interested in her Mandarin Restaurant and it's story and menu than a banquet for friends.
