A plotline mostly centered around redemption. Other themes included learning to live in the moment, and not being so obsessed with your ambitions to the point that you let it destroy your contentment and capacity to form meaningful relationships with others.
The protagonist is a gourmet chef who let his life spiral out of control with drugs and alcohol, and is now trying to rebuild his career. He finds new friends and forms new relationships along the way. I enjoyed seeing a movie with a leading man who is not a cop/fighter/military guy.
As an American, I found the London setting exotic and interesting.
The biggest problem I had with the movie was it moved at a pace that was far too clipped. It felt like scenes had been removed to reduce the overall length of the movie, but, in the process, they didn’t develop the relationships between the characters well enough.
