Movie Reviews:
« ''Food for Love'' made by renowned director Marianna Economou about Greek mothers, who send packages of good food to their grown-up children abroad. I have seen material from this film and if it keeps what is promised, it will be great fun to watch – as well as giving Greek family culture information. »
Tue Steen Müller / Filmkommentaren
« A portrait full of humor and tenderness of three Greek mothers who cook for their children who left home and how food becomes a powerful instrument of family cohesion. The Jewish Mother as a gurgling-like matriarch is a known stereotype. Now she is facing stiff competition - from Greece! »
Les recettes de l'amour / ARTE France / Food for Love / ARTE Germany
« Universal in its central premise is Marianna Economou's "Food for Love". As someone whose Greek mother loves to weigh me down with containers of all manners of home cooked goods every time a visit ends, I can absolutely relate on a cultural level, but despite its Hellenic specificity, Economou's film will assuredly connect with all manners of audiences. »
Basil Tsiokos, Indiewire
« Marianna Economou’s tender and hilarious ''Food for Love'', a portrait of three overprotective Greek mothers who express their love to their studying offspring by sending them parcels of home-made food abroad or in other Greek cities. »
