Synopsis

Details the upbringing of Nigel Slater, Britain’s famed food writer, which was marked by his mother’s death and father’s remarriage to the family housekeeper.

Our take

Helena Bonham-Carter perfectly plays the mother of beloved British celebrity chef Nigel Slater in this film adaptation of his popular memoir. A study of food, family, and adolescence which also looks fondly at the nostalgia that bubbles up when we remember the meals of our childhood, however bad!
