Jan K French cinema doesn't plaster "based on a true story" on its facade, but modestly blends a very interesting story into a wonderful picture. Where the film lacks story, fictionalizes names and misses character building, the Mitterand representation by Jean d'Ormesson is heartwarming. The style of the film is pleasant and a representation of what French cooking is about. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Guys! You by-passed this film's most important message! This film is a scathing criticism of France's misogynistic, male - dominated institution of Haute Cuisine"! The whole film is not about how good the food looks, but how the Elysée Palace's male chefs gang up against this woman who dared to be chosen above them! This is a must see that uncovers the lingering prejudice against women in France's best established institution. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Joel C An interesting look into the world of Presidential food. The main actress is thrown into the uptight professional world of preparing meals for the President and company, but she herself isn't designed for that world, though her food has that hearty home cooked taste that the President loved during his childhood. So, she moves up the ladder very quickly, maybe a bit too quickly as she steps on the toes of those who have been in the business for a long time. I love seeing food on screen and this was presented very nicely amongst the story of this role she has accepted.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are a foodie, a chef or a food and wine person, or someone who wants to have a glympse into the lives of chefs, this is your movie! I enjoyed immensely. If the cooking world is your passion see it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice French comedy on the work of the personal chef of the president of France between 1988 and 1990. The movie is something like a joyous portrait, like the advertising poster for the cinemas, light but well directed.
