The Cakemaker Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
Natural performances from Kalkhof and Adler root the melodrama in genuine pathos.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
An enjoyable slice of unexpected connection.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Credit first-time writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer with pulling off something of a miracle.
MiamiArtZine
Rubén Rosario
What may have initially come across as creepy and inappropriate now feels, with the passage of time, like the most romantic story I've seen at the movies this year.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
Kalkhof, a relative newcomer with quiet charm, and Adler... have an unhurried chemistry that makes their intertwined grief palpable and gives The Cakemaker a sweet finish.
The Playlist
Gregory Ellwood
In The Cakemaker, Grazier shows a masterful touch in handling material that could have easily ventured into pure melodrama in the wrong hands.
Variety
Guy Lodge
A tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief.
ReviewExpress.com
Jean Lowerison
Those looking for something different in a film.
The Public (Buffalo)
M. Faust
The Cakemaker is a movie of subtle, melancholy pleasures.
Buffalo News
Jeff Simon
[A] subtly nuanced romantic dance of emotional exploration.
Arizona Republic
Samantha Incorvaia
Kalkhof has perfect chemistry with both Miller and Adler. The characters don't have to talk for the audience to feel the loss, love and desire they're experiencing.
SF Weekly
Jeffrey Edalatpour
[Director] Ofir Raul Graizer... invests Thomas' baking skills and that Black Forest cake with the power to seduce and enchant.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's extraordinary work and hopefully the first of many cinematic poems from Graizer.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Graizer take his time and never feels the need to spell everything out, and "The Cakemaker" is a testament to what filmmakers can achieve when they trust the audience.
ArtsATL
Steve Murray
A delicate character study about grief and recovery.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The most fascinating kind of tension results, an unusual state of affairs that plays fair with the characters, and with us.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
A terrifically impressive feature debut by Israeli writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer.
Village Voice
Jordan Hoffman
The Cakemaker is more of a petit four than a belly bomb, but it's striking in its particularity.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Sad and sweet, and with a rare lyricism, "The Cakemaker" believes in a love that neither nationality, sexual orientation nor religious belief can deter.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
The film binds its narrative to fascinating explorations of national identity, sexuality, and, of course, food.
