The Film: Like Water for Chocolate (1992)
When tradition prevents her from marrying the man she loves, a young woman discovers she has a unique talent for cooking.
In Tita’s kitchen, ordinary spices become a recipe for passion. Tita is passionately in love with Pedro, but her controlling mother forbids her from marrying him. When Pedro marries her sister, Tita throws herself into her cooking and discovers she can transfer her emotions through the food she prepares, infecting all who eat it with her intense heartbreak.
Like Water for Chocolate plays to the senses with a richly rewarding romance that indulges in magical realism to intoxicating effect.
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus
Overtly passionate, ebulliently funny and ideologically subtle, Like Water for Chocolate is strong drink – hot and sweet. It toasts life not as it is but as it should be.
