Rating: B -- "Constructing Albert" introduces us to an intensely focused man who values his family and the people who help bring his ideas to life as much as he does forging a new path in the culinary world. Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- Mildly entertaining, but mostly dull, hagiographic and occasionally drags. Full Review

The movie is 82 minutes of Albert nattering on about wanting to be better, but he talks about food only in the abstract. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Interestingly, this might be the first food-related documentary that left me without feeling any kind of craving. Full Review

World-renowned Catalan chef Ferran Adrià made his mark on the culinary world as head chef of the restaurant elBulli.

Now, Albert is attempting to step out of his brother's shadow by ambitiously building his own culinary dynasty in Barcelona with a series of innovative restaurants and projects. Co-directed by Laura Collado and Jim Loomis, and written by Collado.
