Review
One of the best documentary's I have ever seen. It is so unique to this genre because it is not trying to push anything on the audience or expose a hidden truth. My last documentary I watched that I really liked was "Waiting For Superman." And it is a film that shocks it's viewers and appalls them gives us hope and then takes it away it is a typical documentary. But my absolute favorite movies are ones that are like nothing I have ever seen before. Spinning Plates is a game changer. It wont' shock you but it will warm your heart and touch your soul... and make you hungry. While watching the movie I became sucked into the story. The hour and a half seemed like a minute it was the perfect amount of time. I wanted more but at the same time it was all I wanted just a quick pickmeup an inspiring part of my day that made me want to hug my family and then have a big family dinner. It is utterly entertaining I laughed and I cried. Spinning Plates reminds us about community passion hardwork and the power of food. Most importantly I was inspired and proud to be a human. This film is a gem in the rough. WATCH IT!
