Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Mirren is drily funny, deploying an arsenal of MasterChef-style horrified reaction shots. Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Puri is great fun as the indomitable head of the family, and Mirren convinces as the grand dame, despite dishing out her lines in an accent that staunchly refuses to set. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) The Hundred-Foot Journey is a culinary culture-clash comedy enlivened by fiery performances from Helen Mirren and Om Puri but which, like so many other Lasse Hallström films, slowly turns to gloop the longer it lasts. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2014 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times How wrong can you go with a comedy about beautiful people making beautiful food in the south of France? And Helen Mirren? The woman can turn 105 and she'll still be alluring, even when she's being haughty. Lots of laughs. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse It's an enjoyable film about passion; the passion for food, passion for culture but most of all, passion for life. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com This isn't your usual summer fare, because it cares far too much about the people whose story it is telling and it takes the time to let you get to know them. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Les W I love this movie. When I first saw it, I was not that into it. Then something wonderful happened over time. I gave it another chance and I fell in love with it in ways I cannot express. It has one of the most important lessons ever in it, that to be true to yourself, and have the faith and confidence to be who you are, and if you are good at something, to not hold back, but to excel and be all you can be. Even if that has a cost, being yourself is the best thing you can do in life! What a wonderful, and beautiful movie! This movie teaches me, that sometimes, first impressions are wrong! It is sweet and touching and REAL! If only people would stick things out to the better conclusions like these people do! I love all the characters, the Dad and Hassan, and Madame Mallory and Marguerite and all of the family! You get TWO romances, and you get the real love of food like few movies! And you get the celebration of being all you can be! Go Hassan! Get those stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Holly H The Hundred Foot Journey is visually resplendent evocative food for the soul which reaffirms the beauty of life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Eve O I love this movie and rewatch it often, it has cooking, romance (both a younger and older couple!), its heartwarming and truly excellent. Fills your soul like a good meal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Brian Q A warm, light feeling. That’s the feeling you get after watching the film. Its plot may be predictable, but you can never go wrong with a story about food, passion, and family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Casper G A boring, predictable story, with poorly written dialogue and lousy casting. Nope. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed Helen Mirren's acting, and the young Indian boy was okay. His father was better. A nice rivalry movie of restaurants. The ending is not so great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
