Dough

"Dough" is a British film written by Jez Freedman and Jonathan Benson. Directed by John Goldschmidt it stars Jonathan Pryce as a widowed owner of a Kosher bakery in the East Side of London and Jerome Holder as a young Muslim apprentice in this charming tale of two cultures trying to find common ground in spite of their different ethnic backgrounds. This is a feel good movie that will never make the top ten list but nevertheless offers the viewer a chance to simply sit back and enjoy how predictable plot endings find their way into the audience's comfort zone. I give the film 3 stars and suggest that whether the viewer has ever or has never eaten a challah, this film will  be a refreshing morsel for his or her movie palate.
