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.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    An absolute masterpiece! The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, and the performances were top-notch.

  • Mackenzie Madden
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.

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

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
