2/5
Ultimately this feels a bit too much like one long advertisement for the restaurant and misses an opportunity to develop a more probing thesis ... Go to Full Review

The end result is a revealing portrait of an artist wholly dedicated to his art. Go to Full Review

"Noma: My Perfect Storm" is crafted with exquisite care in the vein of its subject, though it occasionally feels overly precious. Go to Full Review

Deschamp's restraint and preponderance for stripping away words and explanation renders My Perfect Storm an elusive documentary with snobbish airs. Go to Full Review

5/10
Noma: My Perfect Storm doesn't reflect in its form chef Redzepi's obsession with food, which in this case turns out to be a fatal flaw. The film is too fixated on what's in his head to truly appreciate what he's making with his hands. Go to Full Review
Charles Mudede The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 08/23/2018
The film's cinematography does its best to capture the beauty of Redzepi's dishes. The images are so stunning, it's hard to believe they are objects you put in your mouth and destroy. Go to Full Review

adam b 04/18/2019 A bit pretentious? Yes. F*****g brilliant? Absolutely. Watch this film because I never knew I could be so wowed and tranced by a restaurant documentary. See more 11/17/2016 Rene comes across full of contradictions... I was full of respect and admiration for him before watching this, and was even fortunate to dine at Noma some years ago. Maybe it's just me not understanding what he and this documentary is trying to say, but to me it's just needless deep philosophical bullshit. His ego seems to be oozing out of his ears!! Its rather insulting him calling some of his customers @rseholes when they dine at his restaurant because it was number 1, but I suspect this would be the higher percentile of customers coming through the door!!!! For someone who says he doesn't much care for the world rankings, michelin stars, the negative (racists) remarks to him as a Macedonian, etc... he comes across as though HE DOES CARE.... and seems to resist for some strange reason... out of arrogance?, ego, manliness?? Rene, you're a real talent, and I like your food, but can you please come back down to earth and start acting like a real human!!! Would I go back to your restaurant? Perhaps not, because I'm one of those @RSEHOLES!!! See more 05/06/2016 A documentary the revels in its main character, being Redzepi but doesnt present much more than that. See more 02/28/2016 a docu that ain't glammed up to give it a star-quality finish but one that is honest, brutal yet persuasively naïve in tone and outlook. arrogance, curiosity and perseverance are three important ingredients to succeed in this universe.
