The Press Reviews
McCarthy, Haddish, Moss - Oh, what a movie The Kitchen could have been. But oh what an unholy disaster it is. An early contender for worst of the year. Full Review
An offense against feminism, narrative logic and Fleetwood Mac, "The Kitchen" is a terrible, witless mess. Full Review
The Kitchen offers nothing redeeming to cling close to our chests, nothing warming nor interesting nor worth investing in. Full Review
The plot of "The Kitchen" twists and buckles but it never fully breathes. Full Review
When featherweight Domhnall Gleeson, as an intense angel of death, is your feminist Irish mob movie's most interesting asset, you need to find Hollywood's witness-protection program immediately. Full Review
The ingredients are all there, awaiting an animating fire. Full Review
It wreaks of studio interference, a film that feels pulled apart and then haphazardly restitched in an editing suite by a committee of people desperate to get it released before swiftly moving on and all agreeing to never speak of it ever again. Full Review
The women are game, but there's not enough heat in "The Kitchen." Full Review
