Review of Cupcakes (2013) by Peter C — 09 Apr 2015

Cupcakes is a surprisingly delightful and enjoyable movie, and satisfies in a way that movies rarely do anymore. It's a modest and charming film, but the pleasure it rewards the viewer is substantial: an engaging (if farfetched) plot, a cast of talented and beautiful actors playing sympathetic characters, and a director (Eytan Fox) who manages to squeeze every ounce of sunshine and and joy from the film without ever condescending to the characters or the audience.

Great work is also done by the cinematographer and editor: the film is so color-saturated and peppy you can't help but leave with a huge rose/yellow/green/purple-tinted smile on your face.
