The principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts.

San Diego Metropolitan
Rating: 3/5 --
Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids.
Orlando Weekly
Rating: C --
A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale.

One Guy's Opinion
...[A] subtle, sophisticated drama....An elegant work, FOOD OF LOVE is as consistently engaging as it is revealing...
Los Angeles Times
Based on a David Leavitt story, the film shares that writer's usual blend of observant cleverness, too-facile coincidence and slightly noxious preciousness.

Film Journal International
I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject.

Rating: 2/5 --
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous.
Orlando Sentinel
Product Description:
Adapted from the novel THE PAGE TURNER by David Leavitt, Ventura Pons wrote and directed FOOD OF LOVE, the tale of a love affair between an 18-year-old man and his much older mentor. Paul (Kevin Bishop) is a music student working as an assistant for a classical pianist, Richard (Paul Rhys). The two meet up in Barcelona and begin a tryst, but they must contend with Paul's mother and Richard's boyfriend.
