★ 3.7 editorial score
Food is the only language anyone in it is allowed: a Mexican daughter forbidden to marry cooks her feelings into every dish, and everyone at the table has to eat them.
“This film, a lively family saga that is centered on forbidden love and spans several generations, relies so enchantingly upon fate, magic and a taste for the supernatural that it suggests Gabriel Garcia Marquez in a cookbook-writing mode. Whether you approach this swift, eventful tale on the culinary or the cinematic level, prepare for a treat.”
