Wall Street Journal

The aesthetics of Mr. Wiseman’s visual storytelling have seldom been so prominent or important as in “Menus-Plaisirs.”

By John Anderson FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Nov 23, 2023

There’s individual genius in the Troisgros kitchens, no doubt, but also enormous collaborative effort, which makes the documentary a nice metaphor for filmmaking itself. “Everything is beautiful,” a visibly moved Michel says of his estate; the same holds true of this deeply pleasurable movie.

By Manohla Dargis FULL REVIEW

Dec 8, 2023

For all the ways a four-hour experience may seem daunting, every facet of the film is necessary to understand all of this world and the people that populate it.

By Chase Hutchinson FULL REVIEW

Feb 13, 2024

If you love food porn, this movie will satiate your appetite for visions of French food while providing much insight into how that food is prepared.

By Odie Henderson FULL REVIEW

Nov 21, 2023

Its characteristic focus on the tension between tactile labor and abstract crises — between day-to-day upkeep and spiritual survival — is present from the opening moments, but so is its characteristic refusal to artificially define the contours of that tension.

By David Ehrlich FULL REVIEW

Sep 26, 2023

With a running time of four hours, Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros is a marathon, even by Wiseman’s leisurely standards. But it is an absorbing film, a forest full of trails for viewers to wander in.

By Lee Marshall FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

Nov 29, 2023

Wiseman's approach is to drop you blindly into the middle of the Troisgros milieu and allow details to emerge scene by scene, frame by frame, as if you're watching a photograph come into clear, four-color focus over several hours.
