The best movie about food ever made! You did it. Congratulations. The cinematography was beautiful. The colours all popped it was amazing, more movies should look like this! The soundtrack was great too. The colours of the food was amazing, the wide city shots were stunning. The scene with the train was really cool, i like to think it was signifying a train of death picking up a passenger. *Everyone has their own ladder. Some do their best to climb to the top. Some don’t even realise they have a ladder. You came along & helped me find my ladder* It follows a trucker helping a widowed woman learn to cook the best possible ramen in a sort of Ramen Western style movie. It was really fun! Memorable characters & moments alike, so many scenes had me grinning ear to ear, laughing out loud or on the verge of tears. It was full of mini side plots that were all centred around food, such as food & love, food & intimacy, food & happiness, food & grief, food & childhood, all blended so well together in an ensemble of so many emotions it was beautiful. It meshes human experiences with food incredibly well, it boils down to living life to the absolute fullest, enjoying every bite. Sometimes the best way to experience life is to take it slow & taste all of it! (Some food puns)
