La Cocina Reviews

Apr 5, 2025

Better than Dune 2. Nice focus work.

Mar 31, 2025

Overwrought and overlong. The only relief is the end sequence which is unintentionally hilarious.

It sees diverse working class people honestly and as a result the ending feels earned.

璐属于底层劳工的场域从未真正出现在影片中,而空间的高度限缩让小型社会机器中复杂的人物关系与系统性的剥削得到了充分展现。有赖于导演高璐的技巧与调度能力,压抑鍧缁缈鍧荒诞鍑融入了这持续流动的光怪陆离中,从视听上直接挑动观众的神经。“你们到底想要什么?棰这标示着巨大社会裂痕的质问或许有一个答案澹带佩德罗和其他无数外劳逃离这无形牢狱的鍧闪着绿光的“外星人棰。

From the very first minute, La cocina grips you with its escalating tension. The film masterfully portrays the unraveling of its main character, taking us on a harrowing journey from evident eccentricity to full-blown madness. Every detail, no matter how small, contributes to the immersive chaos, making the story feel both intimate and universal. This is not just a tale about one man’s descent; it’s an exploration of how everyday conflicts, when left unchecked, can break even the strongest among us. The atmosphere is heavy, the stakes feel real, and the storytelling is deeply visceral. La cocina is an intense, thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

First experience with something from Ruizpalacios and could not have been better, despite the final arc being a little lost in itself it did not changed the astonished emotion that it gave me, really abducted me to the world created.

This movie is the innovative, chaotic, and entertaining. The visual aesthetics do the rest. Amazingly good.

A little long and chaotic. Nonetheless the film is masterful in its portrait of the lives led by the essential (but invisible) people that prepare and serve our food. I couldn’t look away.

What a great movie. It's very funny, I really enjoyed it. The plot is amazing,so is the cast.

#LaCocina, a visually stylish peak behind the curtain of a busy NYC restaurant, is deliciously frenetic during its service, but really shines in its quiet, vulnerable in-between moments. A stronger character focus would have been welcomed, but it's a captivating film nonetheless.

Una película muy pretenciosa, larga y sin una historia interesante, que además deja a los mexicanos muy mal parados en ese peque?o universo de inmigrantes dentro de las cocinas de los restaurantes gringos.

Siguiendo los pasos del cine indie, la historia nos permite conocer lo que ocurre tras bambalinas en un restaurante, con todo y el estrés que implica ese ambiente, con cierto sabor realista y, de paso, nos muestra la incómoda situación de los inmigrantes. Una de las mejores apuestas del a?o.

This thing it’s a fucking masterpiece, and if you don’t feel the same I’m really sorry

Good movie, but 30mins too long. Rooney Mara's subplot was totally unnecessary when compared to the overall immigrant theme.

A very intense movie with incredible cinematography and acting. The kitchen scenes are definitely like “The Bear” on steroids. Yes, cutting it back 20 minutes might have made it even better, but what do you cut? I left thinking “This isn’t a movie, it’s a work of art”.
