If the title "Ants on a Shrimp" evokes the worst picnic ever, guess again.

New York Times

Mr. Redzepi is a restless soul, and Maurice Dekkers's engaging "Ants on a Shrimp" follows him on an adventure that seems almost recklessly impulsive.

Like a well-executed fine-dining experience, this sleek documentary entertains, delights, and makes viewers comfortable without evident sweat.

POV Magazine

As a film it may be flawed and a little uneven, but as food porn, Ants on a Shrimp has got enough chewable money shots to make even the most jaded of foodies salivate.

Winnipeg Free Press

Ants on a Shrimp is an intense film and, for a food flick, it's much more about the hard labour of cooking than the pure pleasure of dining.

Rated: 3.5/5
