DJOfRadioGallifrey Review of Toast

Toast (2010 TV Movie)

Warm, Sweet, but main character lacks like-ability

[5 September 2011]

The film was well paced, the characters were laid out simply. The film is a satisfying drama entwined with a cookery ideas class which will make your mouth water. My only complaint is this may be the only biographical film where you are not keen on the lead character, who can't help but be put across on screen as a stubborn teenager that doesn't think outside the box, he maybe a kid with a set agenda but he never seems grow beyond his character, the only thing that grows is his cooking ability and maybe is sexuality. But he is anything but sweet. Instead he holds a life long grudge against someone who doesn't deserve it.
