Soul Kitchen Movie Review: | |
| Nicely cast ensembler, centered on a hopelessly disorganized eatery owner and peopled by a weird collection of lovable eccentrics, is pacey entertainment that hardly puts a foot wrong. Derek Elley-Variety Akin perfectly captures the antic pace, eccentric personalities, and fickle fortunes of the restaurant game, and his vision of the Soul Kitchen as an all-night bacchanal is irresistible. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Tasty concoction about a young man's frenetic struggle to keep his offbeat restaurant going. Ray Bennett-Hollywood Reporter Akin's earlier films were dramas, and he hasn't remade himself as a master of comedy, but even when the gags fall flat the vibe is agreeable. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune The slapsticky tone of Akin's latest work is more anarchic than heavenly, but the picture has its screwball charms. John Hartl-Seattle Times Soul Kitchen, which features a soundtrack laden with American soul and R&B standards, was a hit in Europe, and I suspect many American moviegoers will respond to it as well. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Soul Kitchen is a blend of German/Turkish/American sensibilities, a screwball farce that occasionally knocks you mildly off balance. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Baked with a lot of lousy music, weak acting, clichéd characters and tropes, 'Soul Kitchen' fails to display any of Akin's talents found in 'Head-On' or 'The Edge of Heaven' John Esther-UR Chicago Magazine Akin has infused his film with so much goodwill and humanity that you swallow every overcooked twist and turn. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) "Soul Kitchen" is like a restaurant where the vibe is friendly, the music is cool, the people are all interesting, and it's so much fun to hang out at that you easily overlook the fact that the food isn't actually all that good. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Director Fatih Akin?s specialty is illuminating the multi-cultural bustle of modern Germany, and here he brings a light touch to Zinos? catastrophic efforts to stay above water. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune undercooked Chris Barsanti-PopMatters A more genial, crowd-pleasing "art" film hasn't been and almost certainly won't be found in American theaters this year. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Looks like a bit of relaxed down time for filmmaker Fatih Akin after the stressed-out cross-culturalism of The Edge of Heaven. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express It's an odd mishmash, but it's funny and the non-stop music sent me to iTunes to do some serious downloading. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press A funny, sweet and pleasantly goofy exercise in the language of Goethe. Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star A great little character-driven comedy, merely another excellent film from a spectacular director who would be a household name if foreign films got the audience they deserved in this country. Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever There's a breeziness to Soul Kitchen, good performances by Moritz Bleibtreu as Zinos' slippery brother and Birol Unel as his fanatical new chef, and a peppy soundtrack. Shawn Levy-Oregonian Nothing wrong with a tone that mixes tough choices and uneasy laughs. Akin, at the cost of well-written relationships or motivations, splits the difference and botches both.
