Initially, a depressing view of people's behaviour - The Taste of Others review by SoniaGee

I recommend wholeheartedly.

Intricate and enjoyable film - The Taste of Others review by RD
This starts, like many French films, with what appears to be a slow, disjointed plot. It's interesting, but there's not many signposts as to where the film is going until about halfway when the various isolated characters interact, the story opens up and the whole film takes shape. From there until the ending there is a wonderfully comprehensive display of how relationships that shouldn't work actually do, and how those that should work, don't.
All the acting was of a very high standard, and the film was technically well made..
Watch this clever and enjoyable film until the end, it will leave a good impression.

A rom-com with brains - The Taste of Others review by Plastic Teaspoon
My wife and I both loved this. Its hard to describe the plot without giving too much away but in the end the best man wins the girl; it is just not always obvious who the best man is. The romance weaves around various characters until it settles on the romantic at the heart of the film. I had a smile on my face from start to finish.
