The Hundred Foot Journey

This was a gentle, beautiful movie. The journey was not just the physical and cultural distance between a Michelin rated restaurant in the French countryside to a new Indian restaurant 100 feet away. Clearly, it was a journey for the main characters to become better, fuller, deeper people. If you enjoy character development that moves a story line, you will love this movie. To have a character make the journey believable is the great challenge for a writer. It is satisfying when it does, when it all makes sense without being predictable. Like a good dish, when it all comes together, not only tasting good, but feeling good, it is a wonderful feeling.
