A Taste of Hunger Ratings & Reviews
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
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.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
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.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
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.
Cinefied
Peter Gray
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.

An in depth look at the life of a chef. It's not all about creating delicious food.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
"A really strong and terrifically realized drama, featuring two fantastic performances"
Screen Rant
Ferdosa Abdi
A Taste of Hunger is a luscious production that lures viewers in through its well-crafted visual aesthetic and two brilliant central performances.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
[A] contemplative, stirring feature.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Definitely a foodie film... A powerful film in a certain way.

Maggi's deconstruction of Carsten's dish works better for the restaurant than deconstructing the storyline works for the movie.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
A Taste of Hunger offers only a thin portrayal of a relationship on a continual downslide.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
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.
Paste Magazine
Lex Briscuso
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.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The effect is a movie that resembles nothing so much as the centerpiece of the Malus menu - a hot dog made with elevated ingredients.
Variety
Michael Nordine
The result certainly isn't fast food, but neither is it fine dining.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
A Taste of Hunger is a sumptuously directed feast for the eyes. The relationship drama at its center strays into soap opera territory, but strong lead performances wrangles the narrative back to believable.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
A delectable cinematic treat, one that deserves to be savored.

Harvey S. Karten
Scenes are thrown helter-skelter serving to confuse rather than clarify.
