The Stranger SIFF Notes: Spy, Banana, For Grace, Me and
Earl and the Dying Girl, Sleeping with Other People, I'll See
You in My Dreams, and Mr. Holmes. They used Angela Garbes's capsule of For Grace instead of mine. Here's what I wrote:
FOR GRACE
Documentaries about famous chefs, like Paul Liebrandt (A Matter of Taste) and
Michel Bras (Entre les Bras), tend to play like promotional videos by showcasing
restaurants as much as their founders. This one centers on photogenic Grace
founder Curtis Duffy, who has a surprisingly grim back story, but the more
charismatic subject is his business partner, Michael Muser, a burly Danny
McBride character as imagined by David Mamet. (KATHY FENNESSY)
