Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles

"You can go to 'Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles' for the delectable excess, but you’ll stick around for the quiet, cautionary notes between bites." 

"[It] sounds interesting in theory and certainly looks good throughout. But in its attempt to cram too many narratives and subjects into too short of a running time, it ends up coming across as both overstuffed and oddly undernourished(…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"Don’t expect more than the food/art porn that’s reason enough to sit down and let Ottolenghi’s enthusiasm pull you into the performance" 

"This confectionary seems a little stale and tasteless (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"A fun documentary (...) the results are eye-popping, sometimes almost confoundingly so" 

"Sweeter than it is satisfying, this 75-minute documentary eschews any real sense of conflict in favor of positioning itself as a ruminative slice of edutainment" 

"For such a sweet film, 'Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles' evolves into a complex exploration of the symbiotic relationship between money and art"
