La Cocina (USA) 2024M | 2h 20m | Drama | $12The lunchtime rush at The Grill, a bustling New York tourist trap, unfolds with frenetic energy as the staff scramble to serve thousands of hungry customers.
This film is unashamedly heavy on the seasoning, but a feast nonetheless. The real flavour is found is in the secondary characters, cooks of all nationalities whose stories reflect the pain, melancholy and sorrow of migrant life. La Cocina is a drama that’s as thematically blunt as it is exhilaratingly theatrical in its critique of contemporary America and it's attitude to immigrants.
