A Touch of Spice Ratings & Reviews
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A Touch of Spice has a few imaginative and amusing scenes as well as all the right ingredients of a romantic dramedy, but those ingredients merely simmer without coming to a boil. It often feels contrived and convoluted while its variety of ingredi

Lou Lumenick
Since it's going to make you mighty hungry anyway, I'd suggest skipping A Touch of Spice and going straight to dinner.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A lovely sense of community and family permeates, and Corraface, a familiar face in many American and Greek productions, anchors it all. But don't expect to taste anything surprising.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
The food metaphors pile up like layers of an overstuffed sandwich in A Touch of Spice.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
This handsome widescreen production about a spice-obsessed Greek professor's journey to adulthood mixes food, history and family ties very palatably and poetically.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Mix historical drama, nostalgic coming-of-age soap opera, and more cooking metaphors than even Julia Child would be able to stomach, and the resultant concoction is A Touch of Spice.

This high calorie confection is a bit Greek to me, since Americans literally bursting at the seams and already bombarded with food ads, are always trying their best to run in the opposite direction from those pound packing temptations.

Boyd van Hoeij
Suggests that the scenes [in the film] were randomly picked from the characters' lives, as if flipping through an album in which the choice of photos was dictated by the need to have had a camera at hand rather than the need to document important moments.

Les Wright
As a counterweight to the heavy metaphorical spicing, the film also situates individual lives lived in precise contexts of unfolding political history.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
A sentimental Greek offering that's been immensely popular in its home country but doesn't translate well.
