Entertainment Reviews:
At the age of 85, the subject of this fascinating documentary not only dreams of sushi but still drives himself to make it better....David Gelb's film is a study in perfectionism...
Wall Street Journal
A film about the pursuit of perfection. And the cost.
Philadelphia Weekly
Tying the film together is its aesthetic, which mirrors and accentuates the simplicity of Jiro's methodology and environment.
Sight and Sound
3 stars out of 4 -- As a documentary about world-class sushi, this film is definitive.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Jiro Dreams of Sushi sets a drool-flecked new standard in food porn, and makes the moanings and gruntings of Nigella Lawson look softcore by comparison.

Rating: 3/5 --
At 81 minutes it could do with being still more bite-sized but it's a must-see morsel for foodies. Eat first - it'll make you ravenous.

Rating: 3/5 --
The exquisite nigiri slices gleam with freshness, and you do learn about the component parts to the perfect serving of sea eel or gizzard shad.

Product Description:
Jiro Ono is one of the most-respected and acclaimed sushi chefs in Japan. At the age of 85, he operates an exclusive sushi restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro, with a long waiting list for reservations (the restaurant has a mere ten tables and a typical meal costs $300) and a prized three-star rating from the Michelin restaurant guide. Perfecting the art of sushi has been one of Ono's obsessions since he was a young man, and filmmaker David Gelb offers a delicious look into his life and work in the documentary JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI. In the film, Ono discusses his unhappy childhood, his early days in the restaurant game, and his techniques and philosophies about his chosen dish; he also interacts with fish dealers and his two sons, both gifted chefs who live and work in their father's shadow. JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI was an official selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.
