Review For Step Up To The Plate |
A pleasurable, if drama-free portrait of French chef Michel Bras as he begins the handover of his three-star Michelin restaurant to his son, over the course of four seasons. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
Lacoste threatens to lose his audience several times with the deliberate pacing of his doc, which takes too long to get things to the table in most cases. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
Foodies will drink in the beauty of the meal preparation and the stunning architecture of the modernist restaurant. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
A cerebral, dirge-paced outline of a father-son dynamic that asks the audience to fill in too many narrative and emotional gaps. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
It's an intimate and immaculate film, modest in its goals and greatly affecting. Bruce Diones-New Yorker
It's pretty delicious. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
More food porn...Though the celebrity status accorded chefs has gone way out of control, this is actually not a bad little documentary. Jim Schembri-3AW
An intimate, immaculate doco that ends up a stirring but unsentimental meditation on tradition and family. Lex Hall-FILMINK (Australia)
The film attempts to tell the story of father Michel handing over his restaurant business to son Sébastien, but it makes a botch of it Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

Culinary idolatry where the camera takes up residence in the kitchen of a world-renowned chef to gaze in awe. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
There are some interesting father/son dynamic moments in the film that give it some merit. But I thought JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI, which was released earlier this year, was much more focused and pretty much the same story. Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine
A documentary about a painstaking and intellectual chef, known for his elegant food, who is passing his restaurant to the next generation, even though it's clear he's not psychologically ready to do it. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Mildly engaging, but leaves you hungry for more emotional and intellectual depth. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
