Culinary-doco about an 85-year-old sushi legend.
"Jiro Ono is a legend in his field. His Sukiyabashi Jiro sushi bar in Tokyo’s Ginza subway station seats only ten, but it’s widely considered the best place for sushi in Japan. Customers book as much as a year ahead for a full meal costing upward of 30,0000 yen ($460). Says restaurant critic Masuhiro Yamamoto, 'Nobody has ever had a bad experience there.'"

Time Out
Time Out"This is a portrait of tunnel vision. Jiro exists to make sushi. Sushi exists to be made by Jiro."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"The real star of the movie is the delectable sushi itself. Viewers will be tempted to hop the next flight to Tokyo, but probably will have to settle for a Japanese eatery closer to home."

New York Post
New York Post"An extraordinary morsel of a movie, and yes, you'll want sushi afterward. But it won't taste like Jiro's."

New York Daily News
New York Daily News"Even if you don't fancy raw fish, "Jiro" is a captivating film."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Even at a brief 81 minutes, Jiro Dreams Of Sushi runs a little longer than it needs to, given that it’s making the same point over and over: that it takes uncommon dedication to repeat the same steps every day for decades, always looking for ways to make the process better, not easier."
