Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2003

This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.

A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.

The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama.

It's the extra layer that makes this one, the movie's understanding of how disillusion and inner compromise can gradually separate a young artist from his divine spark.

I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.

Full Review | Nov 6, 2002

One of those so-so films that could have been much better.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 2, 2002

An elegant work, Food of Love is as consistently engaging as it is revealing.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2002

Chokes on its own depiction of upper-crust decorum.

Full Review | Oct 31, 2002
