- Excerpt: The hypnotizing focus of this truly gastronomical extravaganza is on the food preparation, often without dialogue. But have no fear, whether you like to cook or not (I do not), Hùng has the viewer continually surprised at new ways to handle food and continually admiring the art of the preparation.
- Nadine Whitney @ The Curb
- Excerpt: The Taste of Things is a delicious film about harmony and partnership.
