MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Chef

Deb 10     Me 10

Here's an indicator, had to pee the whole time but couldn't find a boring place in the movie to leave for a few minutes. Biggest cast since Ben Hur and a sweet story that unfolds like butterfly wings. The trailer looked good and the movie was terrific. I'm not into food movies but they always seem to have an excellent soundtrack, this one excels with a hefty dose of Cuban music thrown in. Just a nice human interest story, well played, credible, about people trying to do better. Recommend it highly.
