Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Alison WillmoreStep Up To The Plate is as much about the passing along of a legacy as it is about cooking.
The New York Times - 9/10 by David DeWittWhat resonates here are two men, two good men, whose lives have a paradoxically simple and complex bond beyond their profession. Step Up to the Plate asserts how family, in multifarious ways, can be the most deeply affecting of ensembles.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Michael O'SullivanIt's the story of changing chefs and changing seasons. It looks at food as not just something that nourishes our bodies, but as something that enriches our lives and our relationships.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThe movie's patient in the way of "El Bulli: Cooking in Progress" or "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." That's where culinary nonfiction is now - sleepy, observant. And, for the most part, that's OK.
New York Post - 8/10 by Farran Smith NehmeThe film's true fascination is in the kitchen, as it is for the chefs themselves.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Chuck BowenPaul Lacoste's almost purely observational approach allows him to come about as close to documenting the process of creation as anyone ever has.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Gary GoldsteinAs for the so-called "food compositions" seen here, like the film itself, they're more impressionistic and artistic than enticing. For a far more satisfying cinematic meal, check out the similarly themed "Jiro Dreams of Sushi."
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanWhile foodies are sure to feel sated by the gastronomic splendors of Paul Lacoste's debut documentary, others may walk out with a strange sense of emptiness.
Time Out - 4/10 by Andrew SchenkerStep Up to the Plate doesn't skimp on the food-porn goods, but the dynamic between its two stoical subjects is too undercooked to truly resonate.
