FOUR AND 1/2 STARS
The story is that of a food critic too spoiled by life that, one day, he has to face what surrounds him alone. Get out of your comfort zone, find the desire to do again what you were once passionate about, understand people.
Something that explodes in relation to a Paraguayan girl who tries – and manages – to replace her cook/housekeeper/assistant
lifelong. Everything is told by his best friend, a New York writer.
Why is this good? Because Luis Brandoni plays, because no element appears forced, because the Cohn-Duprat duo leaves aside a certain cruel irony that has been a trademark to become more empathetic with the characters, because De Niro He plays a normal human being (a great peak of an actor’s art, believe it or not) and because there is not a single shot that is not done with taste and, at the same time, is narrative. A feast.
