Variety

The movie is 82 minutes of Albert nattering on about wanting to be better, but he talks about food only in the abstract.

The film... shows how these meals are built from the ground up, and with backbreaking work. It also addresses, albeit not with too much specificity, the economic anxieties of creating these businesses.

Interestingly, this might be the first food-related documentary that left me without feeling any kind of craving.

Rated: 2/5

Mildly entertaining, but mostly dull, hagiographic and occasionally drags.

Rated: 5/10

Like a Facebook posting, Constructing Albert has the wafting, slightly off aroma of self-promotion.
