Movie Reviews

A feel good film with a message put across gently...

... and I think it succeeds without taking anything away from the entertainment value.Jonathan Pryce is a Jewish baker. He is a widower and his son won't go into the business, instead he's become a lawyer. He needs an assistant and his black Moslem cleaning lady suggests her son (Jerome Holder). He has been through a lot before receiving refugee status in the U. K., and he has been earning money by selling marijuana on the streets for the local nasty (Ian Hart).Naturally the old baker and the young boy get on like chalk and cheese in the beginning, but they warm to each other and the boy seems to be doing well - except for the fact that some marijuana gets mixed up in the cakes. This assures popularity for the shop - which is a good thing because a local entrepreneur (Phil Davis) is trying to buy the property to build a car park. Then there is the landlady, Mrs. Silverman - (Pauline Collins), recently widowed who has her eyes on the baker.The film is attempting to show that we can all get along with each other despite differences in our backgrounds, religion and all that sort of thing - but it doesn't preach a sermon. Instead it shows the normal reactions of people trying to understand each other. It does this with a lot of humor and at times, little dollops of heartbreak.

singin' in the bread

Some of the most interesting movies that I've seen focus on food: "Big Night", "Chocolat" and "Chef", to name a few. Now we have "Dough". Part look at Jewish baking, part look at a mixing of cultures, it hits all the right notes. Basically, it reminds us that we're all human, all trying to survive in this modern world. But it's also got some funny stuff and great lines. I've liked Jonathan Pryce in every role where I've seen him, and I hope that newcomer Jerome Holder gets more roles like this one. Definitely worth seeing.Also appearing are Ian Hart (Quirrell in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone") and Pauline Collins (the title role in "Shirley Valentine").
