Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
By turns sweet and tart, airy and rich and, above all, a thoroughly irresistible confection.

Variety - Leslie Felperin
Like the lemon meringue pies and shrimp cocktails it features throughout, Brit comedy-drama Toast is tasty, hearty and rather conventional.
70
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
Ms. Bonham Carter's hearty performance makes Mrs. Potter almost lovable. You may laugh at her garishness, but you applaud her pluck and stamina.
70
Chicago Reader - J.R. Jones
Sentimental, obvious, but well-nigh irresistible, this jubilant comedy equates England's bland cuisine with its sexual inhibition and suggests we could all use something a little more tasty (at dinnertime, that is).
63
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Joe Williams
Toast is lovely to look at, evoking both the gray-green milieu of Midlands life and the sensuality of good food, but it's like a whipped topping with no base.
