The 100 Foot Journey

The 100 Journey is not a film to watch on an empty stomach, there are scenes that may be best described as food porn.

As for the film itself, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Helen Mirren puts in a wonderful performance as Madame Mallory in a tale of cultures colliding. The storyline moves along at a pace that keeps the viewer interested and I found myself caring for these characters.

The opening sequence introducing the Indian Characters at the immigration counter sets up the film really well, I particularly enjoyed the joke about qualifications. Whilst this is not primarily a comedy, it has some fun light hearted moments.

This is one of the best films currently in the cinema, if you are deciding what to watch this week, consider this first 9.5/10
