Review For Jiro Dreams of Sushi | |
| It's torture to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi -- if you are on an empty stomach. Maggie Lee-Hollywood Reporter A movie as elegant, spare and tantalizing as its subject. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service By the time this graceful film is over you understand why Japan has declared the bald, bespectacled Jiro a national treasure. Even if you've never tasted sushi, the man's singleness of purpose will inspire you. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Gelb apparently understood that his subject was itself so taking that he wouldn't need filmic embellishments to keep his viewers alert. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic Obsessive, we were saying? Oh my, yes, and that's what makes the film so compelling. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic The most interesting moments, however, belong not to the chef but to those who labor in his shadow. Mike Sula-Chicago Reader You may not dream of sushi, but don't watch this on an empty stomach. -Scotsman Taking a minimalistic approach that matches his subject matter, documentary filmmaker Gelb delves into one of the most acclaimed kitchens in the world: the tiny Tokyo sushi bar run by 85-year-old Jiro Ono, the oldest chef to earn three Michelin stars. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com I left the cinema wanting to meet the man and eat his food. Philip French-Observer [UK] David Gelb's affectionate documentary ... Derek Malcolm-This is London A beautiful ode to an artisan and his culture. Liz Haycroft-Little White Lies Jiro Ono's exacting standards have earned him three Michelin stars, but it's his taciturn nature that spices and sours this documentary. Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK] The themes of age and appalling loss give the film a freakishly affecting lyricism. Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Jiro Dreams of Sushi sets a drool-flecked new standard in food porn, and makes the moanings and gruntings of Nigella Lawson look softcore by comparison. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph The exquisite nigiri slices gleam with freshness, and you do learn about the component parts to the perfect serving of sea eel or gizzard shad. Trevor Johnston-Time Out The end result isn't just one of the best films of 2012, documentary or fiction, but a movie worthy of Jiro himself. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide Treating his seafood substantially better than Oldboy, Jiro is a miracle of perfectionism married to expertise. The same can said for Gelb's loving documentary. Simon Crook-Empire Magazine It does not try to make any broad claims about it subject beyond simply observing, this is what he does, this is why it matters, and this is his legacy. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy It's a simple tale, but one to savour. Ann Lee-Total Film I never cared for sushi, but I have to admit that seeing the documentary film, 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' makes me want to try the incomparable and expensive sushi at Jiro's place. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope The no-nonsense documentary about a compulsive sushi chef wet my appetite even though I never liked sushi. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Jiro Dreams of Sushi is one of my favorite films of the year. Its subject is fascinating, but the film is great for its incredible aesthetics and heartfelt exploration of humanity's drive to create. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered If the ultimate goal of a documentary is to drop you into a location and make you feel it as if you were actually there, consider this the most scrumptious trip to Tokyo you'll ever take. Erick Weber-NECN If the wardrobe to Narnia led to a restaurant full of world-class sushi, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" would be the exquisitely shot documentary that filmed your journey.
