Reception
The film has a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 18 reviews.[8]
Susan Wloszczyna of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars and wrote, "Yet nothing truly creates any emotional waves, and little seems at stake, no matter what potential disaster might seem to be in the offing."[9]
Justin Chang of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "This relentlessly mediocre ensemble dramedy features several of the least compelling dinner guests in recent memory."[1]
Clayton Dillard of Slant Magazine awarded the film half a star out of four and wrote, "There’s a sinister, even insidious quality to a film that insists upon using incessant food montages not as a source of passion, but fodder for class-based self-congratulation."[4]
Mike D'Angelo of The A.V. Club graded the film a D+ and wrote, "Among other demerits, this is the rare foodie movie that doesn’t seem to care much about food."[3]
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Deliberately insubstantial, sometimes savory, sometimes tasteless and ultimately dissatisfying, Tasting Menu is the filmic equivalent of its title."[2]
