Just Ate is an intriguing exploration of the darker side of culinary passion. Eve, the protagonist, is a young chef caught in a tumultuous relationship with food, her job, and herself. The atmosphere is suffocating - you really feel her isolation despite living with family. The pacing is deliberate, allowing those tense moments to linger. The performance of Eve draws you in, showing vulnerability and a strange resilience. The film dances around heavy themes of mental health and familial disconnection, yet it manages to retain a certain rawness. The practical effects around food prep and consumption are visceral, adding a layer of authenticity that shakes you. It’s not a typical chef movie; there's a deeper, grittier side to the culinary world that gets explored here.
