David Ehrlich IndieWire Matt Tyrnauer’s “Nobu” is such a fawning portrait of Nobu Matsuhisa that it feels like it should only be available to watch on a DVD sold at the gift shops in the restaurateur’s hotels. Rated: C+ Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Nobu functions best as a primer, a tasting menu for all things Nobu — man and brand. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Nobu's unfiltered access paints a fascinating portrait of the celebrity chef and his longtime business partner Robert De Niro. A journey that vacillates between a hardscrabble upbringing, incredible food, and searing emotional retrospectives. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Well-edited, but shallow, hagiographic and sugar-coated. Jun 22, 2025 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Part self-made man memoir, with archival personal and period footage and photographs, and part promotion of restaurant and hotel chain. At its most involving when the focus stays on the chef himself within his milieu. Rated: 6/10 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Martin Tsai Critic's Notebook The use of A.I. for dialogue enhancement, as indicated by end credits, does not help blunt the corporate video charges.
