Laura Esquivel's wonderful novel about the powers of passion has been adapted for the screen by her husband, director Alfonso Arau. The result is as rich and savory as Mexican hot chocolate.

It tells a dark, sad, horrific but heartening story in sweet, gleaming images that tickle ribs, quicken senses and awaken hungers. There's just one word for it: Scrumptious.

Deliciously offbeat and bittersweet, it is, entirely appropriately, a treat.

RTSaporta Report (Atlanta)Oct 9, 2023

The result is a movie as magical as it is mouth-watering.
