    Pons has aimed for a performance-driven drama whose virtues are of the small-scale, low-key variety, with the director working within narrow dramatic limits as always but here doing so brilliantly.
  2. An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.
  3. 60
    Stevenson's performance is at once clueless and fiercely committed, a volatile combination that pays off in the best scene: the mother of all PFLAG meetings.
  4. 38
    Some solid performances and pretty scenery don't do much to conceal that there's a whole heap of nothing at the core of this slight coming-of-age/coming-out tale.

  1. "Food of Love" is a dramatic film about the difficult love between people of different ages. A beautiful love story interrupted by actually. Perhaps filme I like less is that it was shot in Barcelona and not in Rome as in the original novel, "The Page Turner" by David Leavitt. A good way to meet Kevin Bishop. Expand
