A little amateur at times in light of the cinematography and sound, this all becomes nothing short of charming in light of the film’s story. 'The Wandering Chef' is the perfect example of how a strong and gratifying narrative can leave technicalities and logistics in the dust. People crave real-life examples of overcoming struggle and suffering, to help us to overcome our own challenges. Im's story is one of honesty, relatability and discovery. It's a display of human trials and how to overcome obstacles with humility and grace. The standout of this film is its ability to reflect back inherit values we wish we possessed, especially in times of trial. Its greatest asset is the life lessons it teaches. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-wandering-chef-a-delicious-tale-of-human-connection Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.
