Critic Reviews
Too bad Chocolat isn't as seductive as its leading lady.
A bittersweet confection that few holiday filmgoers will be able to resist, thanks to melt-in-your-mouth performances by Juliette Binoche, Alfred Molina and Judi Dench.
Like binging on a bottomless box of truffles: Tastes good and sweet at first, but after a while, you start feeling a little green.
Chocolat is a seriocomic plea for tolerance, gift-wrapped in the baby blue colors of a fairy tale and served up with a sybaritic smile.
It's built of such exquisite craft -- the acting, the decor, the photography, the music -- that to refuse it is to refuse the very sensations that draw us to art, romance and maybe even life itself.
Certainly satisfies our hunger for a light, bright dessert, yet it may leave you hungry for more.
It's so easy to be mesmerized by Chocolat's brilliant indulgences that one abandons reason altogether.
May not be deep, but it certainly is lip-smacking.
Has an unerring capacity for going soft whenever a hard edge is called for.
It's tantalizing, delectable and randy, a movie of melting eroticism and toothsome humor.
