The ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960's Britain, based on the cookery writer Nigel Slater's autobiographical novel of the same name.
Critics' reviews
- "'Toast' has three things deserving of adoration: spectacular lemon-meringue pies, the songs of Dusty Springfield and Helena Bonham Carter."
- "Director S.J. Clarkson seems oblivious to the dissonance; perhaps he's deafened by the music."
- "Like going to a restaurant where they fill you up with tasty appetizers and delicious bread but then kick you out before the main course is served."
- "All the actors do well, but the film's strongest assets are the period details--including the highs (coq au vin) and lows (gelled ham) of Sixties cuisine."
- "It's the cinematic equivalent of wax fruit: Look, but don't bite."
