[A] captivating vérité documentary, which finds humor, charm and poignancy in the crusty eccentrics and their adored canine companions who sniff out the aromatic tubers, usually under the secretive cloak of night.
Hollywood Reporter
This is directed by Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw and, visually, it is magnificent, with every scene framed like a gorgeous painting.

The Spectator
THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS takes a rare and exotic delicacy -- the Alba white truffle -- and turns it into an elegy for a simpler, pre-technological way of life.
A.V. Club
4 stars out of 5 -- A strange, funny, mysterious and rather beautiful film about an activity that’s recherché to say the least: truffle hunting, and it is a taste on which my palate still needs educating.
The Guardian
Rating: 4/5 --
The Truffle Hunters is slow but idyllic, with each shot looking like it could be framed and put on the wall of a photography exhibition. It really is a gem.

The Sun (UK)
The deep respect for nature runs through the film, lending a Malick-y vibe, and a beautiful soundtrack. Much to ponder.

What She Said
[The film is] sweet and pleasant ... but is told in an impressionistic fashion that actively avoids giving us a broader cultural context to weigh these truffle hunters against.

Product Description:
This documentary spotlights the unique bond between aging truffle hunters and their dogs in the picturesque forests of Piedmont, Italy. The 70-year-old hunters pursue the rare and expensive white Alba truffle, a gourmet ingredient that can fetch hefty sums at auctions, partly because of their refusal to impart their expertise to a new generation. Directed and produced by Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw.
