3/5
Despite an awkwardly jokey title, Now, Forager has charm, intelligence and a cool passion for its principled characters -- an appealing off-menu slice for hungry indie admirers. Go to Full Review Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter 08/20/2013
Likeably unassuming, good-looking US indie may exert offbeat appeal to the foodie crowd. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 08/20/2013
A lack of dramatic force and zero chemistry between the leads make the film play like a compilation of episodes rather than a flowing narrative, but two sequences are inspired, and the rest has an earnest if underwhelming appeal. Go to Full Review Marc Mohan Oregonian 08/20/2013
Despite its punning title, this is an earnest, absorbing drama set at the intersection of countercultural idealism and gastronomical sophistication. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Screen International 08/20/2013
Mushrooms, food and romance collide in Jason Cortlund and Julia Halperin's modestly charming indie debut. Go to Full Review Matthew Odam Austin American-Statesman 08/20/2013
Now, Forager beautifully depicts the connection between nature and our plates and bleakly portrays how obsession and rigidity can slowly smother a relationship. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/24/2013 I don't know why this film has such a low RT score. I just saw it last week and loved it. It's more of an art film along the lines of Robert Bresson's DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST or Krzysztof Zanussi's STRUCTURE OF CRYSTALS--or Bob Rafelson's FIVE EASY PIECES--than anything else. It's certainly not a twee little film about self-congratulatory Foodies preaching the virtues of organics. It's actually a very smart, dark thought-provoking film about alienation and male melancholy that stays with you. See more 03/12/2013 Beautiful, touching. Fine, unobtrusive sound track. I think tthe two of us found it real. Hard not to love her, hard not to feel sorry for him, trapped in an especially immature idealism. See more 10/01/2012 What happened to those mushroom bandits? Can we get a movie about them? See more Read all reviews
