Beyond its dutiful biopic services, Tony reminds its audience of the sharp turns and unlikely encounters that can change the course of our lives and give us stories to share over the dinner table.

3/5

A hangout movie is perhaps the most fitting way for Bourdain to be brought to the screen. Though its ambitions never quite match its subject, it depicts a summer you’ll be hard-pressed not to be charmed by.

Even if Tony were not a biopic at all, but simply the fictional story of one screwed-up kid’s transformative summer working in a restaurant kitchen, it would be a movie worth watching.

Tony is simply a terrifically composed coming-of-age story told with warmth, attention to detail, and emotional depth.

Tony is one of the best kinds of summer movies – one where you want to live in this world for as long as you feel like it.

15h

A film that works as a successful distillation of what Bourdain was about, while also telling a self-contained story that doesn’t require any knowledge of Bourdain’s life in order to appreciate it.
