‘Better Than Chocolate’ isn’t perfect, but it sure has charm! The characters are great. Some took longer to grow on me than others, but ultimately they’re all compelling! I appreciate how a select few help those around them to grow.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
