A nice movie
I enjoyed this movie very much. It's not your average love story of tortured hearts. It is mixed with some fun whimsy and a sexy Gypsy.

Boring
Highly acclaimed. That, I knew. I watched the first 30 minutes, which is 1/4 of the movie, before I decided to hang it up. New lady moves into a conservative French town and opens a chocolate shop. This upsets the local church, even before she begins unleashing secret desires and so forth with her sinful chocolate. Okay. Can you really carry 2 hours with this single plot? Nope. This one's boring.


Sinful? Maybe. Tasty? Definitely
I happen to love magical realism and Chocolat offers a fine serving of this gentle area of speculative cinema. A fantasy that involves the celebration of family and love first and foremost as well as champions self-expression and joy for living.

The actors all do tremendous work making the magic come alive. I cannot decide who amongst them is my favorite. They seem like real people, struggling to understand life, burdened by it, and yet wanting to find the means to laugh and play like children. The final scene is wonderful.

And the chocolate! I'm really not a huge eater of it in real life, but I cannot help but want to nibble on every dish featured in the film.
