Food of Love Ratings & Reviews
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.
Boxoffice Magazine
Luisa F. Ribeiro
Despite Juliet Stevenon's attempt to bring cohesion to Pamela's emotional roller coaster life, it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
The principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Based on a David Leavitt story, the film shares that writer's usual blend of observant cleverness, too-facile coincidence and slightly noxious preciousness.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
How can such a cold movie claim to express warmth and longing? In truth, it has all the heart of a porno flick (but none of the sheer lust).
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's the extra layer that makes this one, the movie's understanding of how disillusion and inner compromise can gradually separate a young artist from his divine spark.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.
Reel.com
Rod Armstrong
One of those so-so films that could have been much better.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
Chokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.
New York Post
Megan Turner
There's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.
E! Online
There's just not much to munch on.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The film sounds like the stuff of lurid melodrama, but what makes it interesting as a character study is the fact that the story is told from Paul's perspective.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Food for Love endeavors and largely succeeds in lending equal weight to the emotional turmoil of its older and younger characters.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
The picture seems uncertain whether it wants to be an acidic all-male All About Eve or a lush, swooning melodrama in the Intermezzo strain.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Stevenson's performance is at once clueless and fiercely committed, a volatile combination.
