Featured review
To be savoured
This film is about the eventful childhood of Nigel Slater, and how he developed love for the culinary art.
The tag line of "Toast" suggests that it is a film about food, but it really is about Nigel Slater's sad childhood. The child is unloved by his father. His mother was more loving, but could not cook at all. After his mother's untimely death, his life is thrown into emotional turmoil. I find the portrayal of Nigel's state of mind to be heartfelt and profound. It makes me connect with him an his feelings. The rivalry between Nigel and Joan is well depicted too. The tension between them is so palpable. Given such tension between them, the events near the ending are particularly sad. I think "Toast" is a fine film, it is to be savoured.
