Roger Ebert

Now, Forager is a uncompromising film about two people who don't deserve each other - but maybe nobody deserves either one of them. Read full review

Robert Abele

Despite an awkwardly jokey title, Now, Forager has charm, intelligence and a cool passion for its principled characters - an appealing off-menu slice for hungry indie admirers. Read full review

Nick Schager

Boasts an evocative sense of environment and the feel of working with one's hands, but otherwise rummages around in search of substance and subtlety. Read full review

Nicolas Rapold

This uneven, slow-brewed film begins by observing a brittle relationship about to crumble, but it is better at portraying how the exacting standards of food professionals can lead to personal grief. Read full review

David Fear

Jonathan Kiefer

A slow-food procedural, commendably devoted yet still underdone. Read full review
