    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was the first time Joel Kullberg got to meet with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Katrine Greis-Rosenthal, which he both respects as fellow actors. He especially got starstruck talking to Nikolaj since he'd seen him exclusively in international films before. He drew some of Nikolaj's lines from a previous film, that obviously made an impression.
    • Crazy credits
      SPOILERS: The end credits include a post credits scene. In it, Maggie (Katrine Greis-Rosenthal) enters a bar and meets Carsten (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) at the counter. He offers her a drink and says it's a whiskey sour. She comments back that he brought it on him self. Attentive people know what she's referring to (what effect that drink has on her). Carsten smiles. This could serve as a possible confirmation that their relationship is healing, both emotionally as well as physically.

    It's not about food and it's not about the couple

    This movie is about a little girl being traumatized by her entire family. The food and the couple are incredibly boring and bland.

    Nothing about the movie is original or interesting really.

    When it starts it looks like they're going to focus on the food, but then they completely forget about it.

    The main plot of the movie is supposed to be about this chef not paying attention to his family in the pursue of a Michelin star, but they wrote it in this weird way that nothing ever feels justified, what he does doesn't feel that bad, and the way his wife reacts seems super over the top.

    The whole thing is very clumsy and bland. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
