Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) by Teddy V — 24 Jul 2012
Sometimes films are good because they are entertaining or because they mean something to you personally or because they are so well made. Sometimes they can do all three, and sometimes they can do all three on purpose.
Even if you've never eaten sushi or care nothing about it, this film is so well made it really doesn't matter. Like the maker of sushi at Sukiyabashi Jiro strive to surpass the expectations of their patrons, this is film is so good that it transcends it's simple outward appearance such that those who truly appreciate the fine art of cinema will understand that while the subject of the film may be sushi, something that perhaps not everyone appreciates, this is still a film made to the highest levels of cinema.
It can only be described as quintessential.
