Moviegoers are saying
This Anthony Bourdain biopic captures a narrow but intimate slice of the legendary chef's formative kitchen years, with Antonio Banderas and Dominic Sessa delivering standout performances that bring both gravitas and authenticity to the story. While audiences appreciate the film's focused character study and strong cast work, many feel it's too myopic in scope, missing opportunities to explore the broader Bourdain story that devoted fans crave.

From the dialogue to the simple cinematography and everything in between, this just might be one of the best biopics out there. When Micheal came out, I thought, good but safe. This is excellent and courageous, exactly what a biopic should be, a person in imperfect and that’s what makes them human,…
Caleb likedTony@gcarv wouldn’t dare to even look at the plate of oysters. He’d probably be running towards the bathroom if he saw the lobster roles

What a roller coaster of events for Anthony 🦪
Taylor Winters lovedTonyI loved this. Matt Johnson killed it with this film. With music by Jay (I heard he killed someone in his tour van), the movie captures such a perfect blend of youthful searching and rebellion, showing a side of Anthony Bourdain we rarely see in media. It’s such a great film and I’d watch it again
Romil Jain lovedTonyYou can choose to be whoever you want to be. The theme of Synchronicity(Meaningful Coincidence, not random events) & Providence(Guiding attention of God) are prevalent. Though he takes the journey from selfish to maturity he still never made me have faith that he won’t be selfish

Antonio Banderas ❤️
Clay Werner lovedTony8.5 - I (sadly) don’t know much about Anthony Bourdain beyond the basics.

But I know I love every clip that goes re-viral on social media every few years. He just seemed to…

Great depiction. Keep making more.
JAJoseph AckersonJust ok for me
MGMyer Gotzthe young Tony was inept at everything. I bet Anthony Bpurdain was much more on the ball than portrayed in this movie.

Really good movie!
