A feast for the eye and a tug at the heart -- that is writer/director George Tillman Jr.s' new film, Soul Food.

Paul Tatara

An overt desire to please often leaves Tillman relying on force-feeding techniques.

Soul Food aims to be a banquet of feelings, but mostly it serves up tripe.

RTThe Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)Jan 10, 2023

This movie could have sunk to soap opera melodrama. But Tillman really cares about each multidimensional character. As a result, the film resonates.
