Chicago Reader -
Director George Tillman Jr.'s screenplay covers an array of events in the characters' lives so replete with drama it could easily be too much, but the movie's humor is vibrant, the sorrow unexploitive, the sexuality character enhancing, and the love heartfelt--and Tillman is tremendously skilled at bridging the vast shifts in tone.

Los Angeles Times -
Humor, sentiment and melodrama strike a balance as he brings to life nine major characters and a host of others as well.

Chicago Sun-Times -
George Tillman says Soul Food is based in part on his own family, and I believe him, because he seems to know the characters so well; by the film's end, so do we.

The New York Times -
This new menu movie has a soapy plot, appealing stars, family values, down-home atmosphere and a conviction that there's rarely a problem fried chicken can't cure.

L.A. Weekly -
But if you go in knowing this, the payoff is considerable - the film delivers on its feel-good promise.
