The Kitchen Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
The writing is so strong and the performances so good that they feel like real people.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I like this film quite a lot. It's sharp, it's fast and also slow.
Newsday
Robert Levin
This is a compelling sci-fi movie, one that does not pander to the usual expectations.
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
But it's a film that is constantly grounded by its impactful, human tale.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
William Tucker
Every part of The Kitchen, though set in the future, is a love letter to the neighbourhoods the filmmakers grew up in.
We Got This Covered
Charlotte Simmons
More a sacrifice bunt than a homerun, 'The Kitchen' is a commendable, if tame, addition to the dystopian sci-fi library that gets by on pure heart.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
For all the near future stuff and all the sci-fi elements, it's a character drama.
The Verge
Charles Pulliam-Moore
What makes The Kitchen feel so distinct is the way its subtle touches of speculative futurism work to highlight realities about how at-risk communities are surveilled and how riots end up becoming people's organic response to state-sponsored violence.

Daniel Kaluuya redefining himself
In Review Online
Dhruv Goyal
This isn't a believable utopia, then, but a magical one... [And] its ineffective placement within the film's otherwise grounded dystopian world leaves viewers consistently questioning its legitimacy and believability.
Decider
John Serba
It's easy to respect and admire the filmmakers' ambition, intent and visual execution, but the material needs a more steely and confident approach, a harsher contrast of violence and love to elevate the film from watchable to truly memorable.
Mashable
Shannon Connellan
Tavares and Kaluuya have realised a truly compelling and realistic dystopian film that doesn't ignore our present, with strong performances and savvy world-building
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
"The Kitchen" almost reads like a damning premonition of what's to come as the gap between rich and poor widens to even more damning degrees.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Bleak and often beautiful...
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The direction, by Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya, is sure and unfussy, spinning a warmly humane story of cross-generational connection.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
A well-executed film about a familiar kind of urban dystopian nightmare. It is, ironically, sunnier than the Los Angeles of Blade Runner, but the mood is as dire.
Rolling Stone
Jack Francis
While it runs you through the gamut of emotions, you'll end up full of warmth while also unmistakably concerned. It will also leave you pondering one other question: Is there anything Daniel Kaluuya can't do?
IndieWire
Sophie Monks Kaufman
If the relationship drama at its core doesn't fully connect with the elegant brutalism of its visual language, there is, nevertheless, a lot to admire in both aspects.
Observer
Emily Zemler
Kaluuya and Tavares aren't interested in sentimentality. Instead, the film serves as haunting "what if" scenario, offering viewers a glimpse of a possible future.
Variety
Guy Lodge
An intimate, humane study of Black male bonding in a time of systemic social oppression.
