A civilized delight.
By Jay Carr FULL REVIEW
90
All of this romantic back and forth unfolds gradually and in charming ensemble style. As the characters think about seducing each other, as they inevitably complicate their lives without being able to help themselves, the film is simultaneously seducing us.
By Kenneth Turan FULL REVIEW

The Taste of Others takes regular (but not ordinary) people and knocks them out of their usual zones of activity. The resulting collisions leave behind a very pleasing flavor.
By Robert Horton FULL REVIEW

The entire cast is marvelous and capable of conveying continents of emotion with a furtive smile or arched brow.
By Marjorie Baumgarten FULL REVIEW

Nothing overly dramatic happens during the course of The Taste of Others but the characters prove to be engaging and their quite real human emotions are enough to carry it.
By Cary Darling FULL REVIEW

It's a nicely crafted little ensemble piece, but -- like so many films that have become the rage in France in recent years -- it's surprisingly light and forgettable.

A pleasant time-passer.
