#影# 2015 "The Hundred-Foot Journey" and "Michelin Love" 6/10 I


want to watch a relaxing and warm romantic drama, but this film does not even erase the traces of the assembly line, and directly put the routine mold on the table: India mixed with France, Food plus inspiration, family love and love, every shot is expected, every emotional outburst is expected, mediocre and uncomfortable.
