Spinning Plates is a documentary about three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. A cutting-edge restaurant named the seventh-best in the world whose chef must battle a life-threatening obstacle to pursue his passion. A 150-year-old family restaurant still standing only because of the unbreakable bond with its community. A fledgling Mexican restaurant whose owners are risking everything just to survive and provide for their young daughter. Their unforgettable stories of family, legacy, passion and survival come together to reveal how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect us to one another.
Leave your thoughts about Spinning Plates.
| Village VoiceInkoo KangA love letter to that singular intersection of artistic innovation, cultural legacy, community pride, and family-sustaining (or -straining) commerce known as the restaurant. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternJoseph Levy's sneakily stirring documentary opens up feelings you would never have expected from the premise — a portrait of three American restaurants. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthSpinning Plates navigates an industry that is more diverse and challenging than ever, but with this simple, fulfilling sampling, we learn that those behind the stove aim for the same kinds of rewards, accomplishments and satisfaction as their predecessors did. |
| Flicks.co.nzRebecca Barry HillSpinning Plates has three moving personal stories, and that's what makes it memorable. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferFilmmaker Joseph Levy seems at ease infiltrating the communities that spring up within and around professional kitchens. |

| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThough these stories have little to do with each other, all are gripping, and you watch the last third of "Spinning Plates" rapt. |
| Slant MagazineKalvin HenelySpinning Plates may inadvertently be one of the year's best films about class differences in America. |
| The A.V. ClubJosh ModellAs separate snapshots of three fascinating businesses, it’s vivid and engaging. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBruce IngramA surprisingly personal and moving documentary about three very different types of restaurants. |
