Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"Toast," is by turns sweet and tart, airy and rich and, above all, a thoroughly irresistible confection.
– Gary Goldstein,

rotten:
For the most part, the movie feels like an emotional vacuum, mirroring the drab vanilla and mint green interiors of the Slaters' home.

rotten:
Director S.J. Clarkson seems oblivious to the dissonance; perhaps he's deafened by the music.
– Ty Burr,

fresh:
"Toast" has three things deserving of adoration: spectacular lemon-meringue pies, the songs of Dusty Springfield and Helena Bonham Carter.
– Tom Keogh,

rotten:
Like its namesake, "Toast" is crusty comfort food with little nutritional substance.
