Lisa Alspector · Chicago Reader 90.00/100.00

Director George Tillman Jr.'s screenplay covers an array of events in the characters' lives so replete with drama it could easily be too much, but the movie's humor is vibrant, the sorrow unexploitive, the sexuality character enhancing, and the love heartfelt--and Tillman is tremendously skilled at bridging the vast shifts in tone.

这片子翻拍饮食男女我觉得有点以讹传讹了 充其量设定很像吧 整体不错 很温暖的电影 babyface和一众黑人音乐rnb的原声也很好听

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 88.00/100.00

George Tillman says Soul Food is based in part on his own family, and I believe him, because he seems to know the characters so well; by the film's end, so do we.
