Food of Love Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Food for Love endeavors and largely succeeds in lending equal weight to the emotional turmoil of its older and younger characters.
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.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.
New York Post
Megan Turner
There's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.
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.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.
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.
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.
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).
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Stevenson's performance is at once clueless and fiercely committed, a volatile combination.
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.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
Chokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.
Reel.com
Rod Armstrong
One of those so-so films that could have been much better.
E! Online
There's just not much to munch on.
