Rated: 3/4 Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Heartwarming and human in ways few films about food are... Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Michael D. Reid Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) Writer-director Peter Svatek has cooked up an epicurean documentary about food waste that is as mouth-watering as it is inspirational. Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2017 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight Pleasantly ramshackle. Jan 11, 2017 Full Review Chris Knight National Post The film also takes times to chronicle the refugees, addicts and other unfortunate folk who are the beneficiaries of this high-class soup kitchen... their individual stories adds a welcome layer to what might otherwise be a one-note doc. Rated: 3/4 Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto This is an involving process documentary that's also a deeply satisfying story of kindness -- which suits the holiday season nicely.
