City
Of Gold 9/10
Camille
and I went to the Sundance Cinema and checked out this documentary
called City of Gold. Just like when we usually see movies at her
suggestion I don't ask what its about or anything. This documentary
is about a food critic named Jonathon Gold and his story of living in
Los Angeles and the food he enjoys and his writing process. I wasn't
expecting to like this as much as I did and I liked it for multiple
reasons. Watching all the damned good food was nice. Listening to how
respected this normal looking guy and how his readers and family
relate to him was good as well. Its so weird to think that a guy
writing about food could have such an effect on people.
Gold
is such a likable guy. There isn't an air of superiority about him
even though he was the first food critic to win a Pulitzer Prize.
There are also some really good stories about restaurant owners whose
lives were changed by his reviews and their struggles being from
other countries and opening up businesses in the city. They also
break down the demographics for places to eat. Its thorough but not
boring at all. Both of us enjoyed this and I'd definitely watch it
again.
