Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Stella Papamichael

Racial divisions are seen in soft focus through the lens of director Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) in this adaptation of the novel by Richard C Morais. Helen Mirren plays the snooty owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in rural France who scents a rival when the aroma of curry wafts across the road from Om Puri's newly opened business. A game of one-upmanship ensues, as each tries to get punters through their door. But when the prodigious culinary talent of Om Puri's son (Manish Dayal) catches Mirren's attention, a bridge starts to be built between the two. There are few insights into what really makes these characters tick, while Dayal's slow-cooking romance with fellow gastronome Charlotte Le Bon may be thrown in just to bulk up the stew, but the always-good-value Puri (East Is East) delivers some wry laughs along the way.
