Chocolat

ONE TASTE IS ALL IT TAKES.

A mother and daughter move to a small French town where they open a chocolate shop. The town, religious and morally strict, is against them, as they represent free-thinking and indulgence. When a group of gypsies arrive by riverboat, the Mayor's prejudices lead to a crisis.

Reviews:

  • Rene Navarro
    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Megan Wiley
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Emir McLean
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
