The history of the Refettorio Ambrosiano, its chefs, and the refugees and homeless it feeds.

Rebecca Tucker

Globe and Mail

If most of us are paying attention to our food (one way or another) those actually making the stuff ought to start paying a different kind of attention, as well - if only for the length of a world's fair.

Rated: 3/4

Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)

Writer-director Peter Svatek has cooked up an epicurean documentary about food waste that is as mouth-watering as it is inspirational.

Rated: 4/5

National Post

The film also takes times to chronicle the refugees, addicts and other unfortunate folk who are the beneficiaries of this high-class soup kitchen... their individual stories adds a welcome layer to what might otherwise be a one-note doc.

Rated: 3/4

This is an involving process documentary that's also a deeply satisfying story of kindness -- which suits the holiday season nicely.

Rated: 4/5
