Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 03/13/2022
2/5
This is soupy, romantic slop from Mika Kaurismäki, the kind of photogenic sentimentality that tends to feature heavily on the menu of Lasse Hallström’s films. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 03/08/2022

Calm and serene as the green landscape of Northern Finland where it is set, Mika Kaurismäki’s Master Cheng flows at a gentle pace… It will not jar or distress you, especially as so much of its narrative is utterly predictable. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 03/15/2022

If you liked Chocolat or Ang Lee’s Eat Drink Man Woman, you’ll enjoy this. Although it will make you desperately hungry. Go to Full Review Saskia Baron The Arts Desk 03/10/2022
2/5
As a movie, it's all a bit sweet and pointless except as an advert for Finland as a holiday destination and Chinese cuisine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ian S Sep 4 Super film, highlights the qualities of the Chinese and at the same time those of the Finns. Plus the beauty of Finland. Lovely story. See more Margaret O Jan 1 There were so many gentle delights in this film. Two bruised souls find each other across a cultural divide, and by opening their minds and hearts, many others around them also find healing, initially through food and later through sharing who they are. I loved it's quiet low key approach. A real gem See more Bill G 10/05/2024 Sentimental but engrossing and beautifully shot. I loved the slow, absorbing pace. See more Scott F 05/05/2024 Just lovely from start to finnish See more John N 09/19/2023 Beautiful movie. Perfect timing. Realistic. High quality acting. Perhaps not for action movie lovers though. Hardly noticed the subtitles. See more Tom C 08/14/2023 Simply beautiful.................................... See more Read all reviews
