A subtitled documentary about an old Japanese guy who runs a tiny sushi restaurant? Who'd want to watch that? You'd be daft if you didn't give this a try. One of the best films I've seen in a long long time. The intensity of the dedication of Jiro and his sons to their work is astonishing and yet they still manage to touch you and be able to make you laugh. On a deeper more subtle level it gives the best insight you are ever likely to get into the changes in Japanese culture over most of the last century. Nothing heavy. Just that as you hear more of Jiro's stories about his past that past comes to life in a way that has rarely been accomplished before. This works on so many levels and shouldn't be missed.- Was this review helpful to you?

(5)If you knew sushi...
By zorilla (221 reviews) from Kew, Richmond , 11 May 2013A lovely meditation on food and family that feels closer to the films of Yasujiro Ozu than anything you are likely to see on the Food Channel. Jiro Ono's quiet dedication to his craft makes the frantic bombast of Gordon Ramsay and the current crop of shouty chefs look even more stupid and ridiculous than you'd previously imagined.- Was this review helpful to you?

Inspiration by way of sushi
By 26inLondon (2 reviews) , 03 Apr 2013A beautifully shot documentary with a inspiring story of 85-year-old Jiro, his love and obsession over perfectly crafted sushi. If you have any interest in food or have a passion to follow, this film will leave you inspired, hopeful, and determined. If nothing else, you will never look at sushi the same way again!- Was this review helpful to you?

Totally unexpected
By damien1406 (3 reviews) from derry , 13 Mar 2013Great documentary. was glued to the screen. Jiro is a great character, wonderful and committed. The film has you thinking throughout about the future for Jiro and his family. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different.- Was this review helpful to you?
