Hunger (2023)

Posted on Feb 5, 2025

I saw this movie on the Netflix. It started off strong but turns into a disappointment at the end.

The movie is about a street food cook who is invited to join a team of top chef.

SPOILERS WARNING:

The girl wanted to be the best and she even end up opening her own restaurant. But in the end she just wanted to go back to being a street food cook.

I felt disappointment because the message seemed that the pressure of being the best is not for everyone. Her family instead supporting her, guilt her and wanted her to quit, a weird cooking competition at a party, and then the message of the movie seemed to be that don’t be your best.

Other than beautiful cooking scenes, there was not much else going on for this movie.
