The big thing with movies and theatre and the art of story-telling is the ability to move people, to be able to impact them deep within, simply by means of a story. A story which stays with you and makes you think. And in fact I realized a little earlier today that I have to write this review soon since otherwise, I would keep thinking about this movie till I did!

The Bread My Sweet is not a Hollywood production with a gazillion dollar marketing and production budget. Like the famous Enrico Biscotti of Pittsburgh Strip Dictrict, The Bread, My Sweet has aroma of home made-baking to it. It’s one of those movies that you’re glad you actually went to see because what it does best is tell a story and it tells a story in a wonderful way.

The acting is superb and very down to earth. The setting is even more down to earth, especially for those of us who know Pittsburgh and all the familiar sights of the Strip district – Enrico’s, De Lucca’s Stambooli’s, The Pennsylvania Macaroni company, the Pittsburgh skyline…. All brought to life in a way which actually gave Pittsburgh a sense of character that I have never seen before.

The Bread My Sweet is just one of those movies that you just have to see to understand how powerful it can be and can draw you in to be part of the life it portrays. I think it was wonderfully done and it deserves to be a movie that gets a lot-of-word of mouth publicity in order to make it hugely succesful as this is the type of movie that in my humble opinion, deserves a couple of awards or something. Can I say any more good things about it??
