Spinning Plates can sometimes feel like it's spinning its wheels, but its truly fascinating subjects and their moving stories will send you home happy (and hungry.)

The tales are worthwhile, but it's challenging to find a common thread among them that goes beyond vague generalities.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Plays to sentiment in its second half but you can't help but admire the tenacity of these people, who have been tested repeatedly in almost Biblical fashion, yet come out swinging.

Filmmaker Joseph Levy seems at ease infiltrating the communities that spring up within and around professional kitchens.

SF Weekly
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The flavours, though lovingly prepared, don't always compliment one another. Perhaps it's because when we get to the 'and then the unthinkable happened' portion of the documentary, the lack of balance left an odd aftertaste.

Dear Cast and Crew
Rating: 3/4 --
Rather than venerating the business of food, this documentary expertly points out that it is, indeed, a business and sometimes lives and livelihoods are at stake.

Though these stories have little to do with each other, all are gripping, and you watch the last third of "Spinning Plates" rapt.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This the story of three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. A cutting-edge restaurant named the seventh-best in the world, whose head chef must fight a life-threatening obstacle to continue his passion. A hundred and fifty year-old restaurant, still standing only because of the unbreakable bond with its community. A Mexican restaurant whose amateur owners are risking everything just to survive and provide for their family. Their unforgettable stories of love, legacy, passion and survival come together to illustrate how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect us to one another.
