Sophie Mayer Sight & Sound 08/01/2018
Wetzel's documentary never really gets under Adrià's skin - but the creation of the frozen, juiced, glossy surfaces of the food is fascinating. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 07/27/2012
3/5
There is no doubting that even this overlong examination of culinary expertise and experimentation will become a classic. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 07/27/2012
3/5
There are enough outbreaks of culinary weirdness to keep true enthusiasts distracted. Go to Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 08/19/2019
This fascinating study turns out to be, fittingly, an epitaph... Go to Full Review Daniel Green CineVue 01/30/2019
2/5
If you're already an Adrià-convert then seeing the great gastronome at work may well be more than enough of a draw -- just don't expect to learn anything profound about him or his unique culinary approach for the proceeding 148 minutes.

2/5
Not only does the food look barely edible but the film is remarkably unilluminating about the history of the restaurant, the characters or those who ate there. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/23/2014 Ferran eats like a slow loris. See more 09/27/2013 I've never really been into documentaries. And this one just sounds interesting, if not truly wonderful. See more 09/15/2013 Five Stars could simply be given to the crazy head chef Ferran Adria and his artistic creativity that turns concept into reality. This might not be everyone's cup of frozen tea cubes in a sugar cone cup but it worked for me. See more 03/11/2013 Showcases the creative process behind El Bulli's exquisite dishes. Ferran Adria and his team of elves brainstorm and experiment in zen-like mode to create dishes out of this world. Too bad the restaurant has closed. See more 02/16/2013 Molecular gastronomy. See more 11/26/2012 The lack of voice over and the spontaneity of the story are welcomed. A bit boring, too zen. The weakness of this documentary was that it failed to explain Adria's philosophy and genius. See more Read all reviews
