Jude Dry IndieWire 02/23/2018
B-
While certainly a worthwhile story, the film feels as hastily made as the kitchen's mouthwatering offerings, though the result is not quite as tasty. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 03/05/2018
3.5/5
A hugely positive example of how to pay it forward and help make the world a better place one person at a time. As a film, though, there's little unexpected in it. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat 02/26/2018
4.5/5
What makes Knife Skills amazing is its goal of rehabilitation. It's about forgiveness, offering hope and giving second chances. Go to Full Review Dan Lybarger Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 02/23/2018
4/5
Knife Skills is inspiring without being sappy. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 02/21/2018
4/5
Shot in a clean, crisp style that reflects the dynamics of the kitchen, Knife Skills is brilliantly edited and packs a lot into just 40 minutes. Go to Full Review Arlin Golden Film Inquiry 02/20/2018
It is a film with some great moments of personal insight, but its lack of focus left me slightly wanting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

paul s 02/12/2023 Great topic and ministry See more david f 11/14/2018 A great documentary about a restaurant staffed by ex-cons. I couldn't help but laugh when one of them got caught robbing a bank, even though I knew I shouldn't. See more 02/15/2018 Another Oscar nominated documentary short. This one is a about a restaurant that trains ex-felons to be cooks and servers in order to help them find new lives outside of prison. It was very interesting as it looks at the personalities of some of the people who trained there and the model they were going for. See more Read all reviews
