Review of Chocolat (2000) by The3Academysins — 02 Nov 2019
While a little corny and a little dated, I found myself enjoying Chocolat quite a bit! The strong performances from the ensemble cast, a really clever script, and an unwavering directorial vision from Lasse Halstrom really make this film an enjoyable watch. It's sentimental, thought-provoking, and endlessly charming.
The themes of Chocolat are actually surprisingly deep. The themes about being an outsider and how the word of God is interpreted by man really resonated with me. The way chocolate is presented is also incredibly fascinating and aesthetically pleasing!
A lot of Chocolat, however, tends to drag a lot. The soundtrack is also incredibly uninspired and lackluster. It sometimes leans into the sentimentality a little too much, which tends to slow the action down even more.
