critical response

in review in new york times, film critic elvis mitchell wrote, movie has trim, ticking precision, though manfred eicher (one of founders of ecm jazz label) adds score gives picture light-handed rhythm. ms. nettelbeck seems have achieved balance of control , autonomy martha doesn t feel if directed central figure. final confection extremely enjoyable, though few degrees shy of perfection.

in review in spirituality & practice, frederic , mary ann brussat wrote, writer , director sandra nettelbeck beautifully orchestrates transformation of chilly, neurotic, , self-absorbed martha heart begins open under tutelage of lina , mario.

in review in reel views, james berardinelli wrote, acting top-notch. martina gedeck glorious martha. ... lina, maxime foerste gives natural, unforced performance. ... , sergio castellitto delightful mario. ... as other motion picture employs preparation , consumption of food key element, martha provides perfect blend of cinematic nourishment , gratification.

manohla dargis disliked screenplay, writing s drag how nettelbeck sees working women—or @ least working woman—for whom shows little understanding; there s puritan, punitive, cast way sees character, pathology digs @ tenacity of truffle hound.
