... Although seasoned with a healthy amount of food porn, this drama focuses more on the dissolution of a marriage.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2022

Well made and well acted, and with a fascinating backdrop of top-class cooking and food preparation, the film suffers only from its somewhat predictable plot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2022

A mature look into the fissures of a personal and professional partnership as it faces imminent failure on all fronts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2022

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2022

Blinkered desire is a bittersweet dish, no matter how prettily it’s plated.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2022

A must for food porn fans and lovers of thought-provoking, tension-filled relationship-focused tales.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 12, 2022

We get several visual helpings of exquisitely shot cuisine. But the cooking is mostly dressing. The main dish is the souring dynamic between a husband and wife whose lofty goals begin to tear an otherwise loving couple apart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2022

Unfortunately, although it boasts some polished visual direction and an atypical structure, the drama never quite ascends to a level of supreme gourmet cinema, satisfied instead to merely be a serviceable meal of a film.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 11, 2022

Even though A Taste of Hunger centers on a couple who own a restaurant together, the movie is really about what people will do to achieve their definition of success, and how ambition can turn into an unquenchable obsession.

Theres a slew of good films peppered throughout Christoffer Boes A Taste of Hunger. Sadly though, each respective narrative doesnt culminate in a story thats cohesive enough to maintain interest.

[A] contemplative, stirring feature.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 29, 2022

Definitely a foodie film... A powerful film in a certain way.

| Jan 29, 2022

Maggi's deconstruction of Carsten's dish works better for the restaurant than deconstructing the storyline works for the movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 28, 2022

Contemplative and tenderly observed, a slow-burn romantic and family drama about two complicated, difficult people and what they're willing to risk to achieve their dream. Plus: Scandi food porn!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2022

A Taste of Hunger offers only a thin portrayal of a relationship on a continual downslide.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 28, 2022

It's a tribute to the sizzle of the central relationship that you want all that silly plot stuff to go away so Maggi and Carsten can kiss some more. They're the main course, and the most zestful one, in an alluring but overcooked feast.

| Jan 28, 2022

A high-octane romantic drama that meshes the power couple archetype with the realities of relationships-and how that informs the price of success in the culinary world.

| Original Score: 7.0/10 | Jan 27, 2022
