Yelena M So sad to see how he was treated in the last several years of his life. He is a legend, who deserved more acclaim than was given. I wonder why his wife chose not to participate in this documentary and pay tribute to the man he was. May his legend live on forever. Thank you for making this documentary. But I wish it wasn't described as “rise and fall”. He didn't fall, he was ill and in declining health. It should have been described as “legend gone too soon”. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Scott M Well plated documentary about a trailblazer of American culinary, Charlie Trotter, and proof that pioneers get slaughtered, while settlers prosper. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review darren m Do not miss. A gloriously successful masterpiece of a documentary. It does not get better than this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Michael L Not only is this an incredible film about one of America's greatest chefs, but it is also one of the best documentaries EVER made. Period! Director Rebecca Halpern does a masterful job portraying both the genius and obsessive behavior that made Chef Trotter so inspirational...and controversial. Rare family photos, intimate personal letters, home movies, archival footage and exclusive new interviews are used with unique style and finesse throughout the film. And although Chef Trotter passed away tragically at age 54, this movie allows his story to live on forever. A MUST SEE!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review james w A fitting tribute to a unique and accomplished man.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review bklyn 1 I went to see this film thinking it was about foodies and walked out having a better appreciation of humanity. For all those striving for perfection Love, Charlie gives a perspective on the costs of trying to always seek perfection while bringing out the best in those around you. I was struck by the volume of personal detail the film brings to life for someone who changed the food world and those around him for the better Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Read all reviews
