Documentary
— Critical consensus, summarised
David Gelb's deceptively quiet portrait of Jiro Ono, the octogenarian sushi chef whose ten-seat Tokyo subway-station counter holds three Michelin stars. Critics widely call it one of the most beloved food documentaries ever made — equal parts father-son business succession drama and patient meditation on craft.
