Movie Reviews

Variety - 10/10 by Guy LodgeA tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekA delicate thing that won't appeal to all tastes. But if you're willing to surrender yourself to its unusual vibe, you may find that it quietly builds a substantial effect.
The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Al Alexander"Cakermaker" isn't your average slice of hunky Aryan pastry crimping with a sweet Israeli tart. It's really about 80-odd years of geopolitical atrocity born of the Third Reich evolving into an uneasy peace between Germany and Israel.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by David NohLuckily, a highly appealing cast manages to make the most of the thin material.
The Victoria Advocate - 9/10 by Joe FriarA beautiful film that explores love, loss, and religion.
The Public (Buffalo) - 8/10 by M. FaustThe Cakemaker is a movie of subtle, melancholy pleasures.
Arizona Republic - 8/10 by Samantha IncorvaiaKalkhof has perfect chemistry with both Miller and Adler. The characters don't have to talk for the audience to feel the loss, love and desire they're experiencing.
El antepenúltimo mohicano - 8/10 by José Martín[Director Ofir Raul] Graizer has opted for a slow, generous narrative in fixed shots that are recreated in the sad looks of his characters... without the need to resort to excessive dialogue. [Full review in Spanish]
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Walter V. AddiegoGraizer take his time and never feels the need to spell everything out, and "The Cakemaker" is a testament to what filmmakers can achieve when they trust the audience.
Mark Reviews Movies - 8/10 by Mark DujsikThe Cakemaker is a story about ... an extreme act of mourning, but it's presented with subtlety, restraint, and tenderness.
