Babette's Feast Ratings & Reviews
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Never has cinema presented such a chaste and tasty orgy. Director Gabriel Axel suggests something heterodox but logical: you can reach the soul through the palette. [Full review in Spanish]
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
It's a strangely moving film about talents and passions used and not used.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
essentially a fable ... stands the test of time
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
a simple film of great feeling and generosity
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
While Babette's Feast is bleak, and often ponderous and stony, it eventually resolves as a moving hymn to art.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Undoubtedly the warmest of all Scandinavian films about religion.
Common Sense Media
Heather Boerner
A heartwarming feast for adults. May bore kids.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The acting is impeccable and the ambience suffused with delicate charm, but overall this doesn't aim at anything higher than Masterpiece Theatre or a Merchant-Ivory film.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite the austerity of the characters and local, this quiet gentle Danish film, the surprise winner of the 1987 Best Foreign Oscar, won over audiences with its subject of food, and the preparartion of a feast to end all feasts-- by Stephane Audran!
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Scrumptious and beautifully crafted
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Still the gold standard of food movies.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A literate and lovely-to-look-at film that compels us to meditate upon the needs of the flesh and the gifts of the spirit.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
A quiet celebration of the divine grace that meets us at every turn, and even redeems our ways not taken, our sacrifices and losses.
All Movie Guide
Dan Jardine
At turns philosophical and sensual, this hauntingly elegaic film resonates.
