An enjoyable slice of unexpected connection.

The most fascinating kind of tension results, an unusual state of affairs that plays fair with the characters, and with us.

Kalkhof has perfect chemistry with both Miller and Adler. The characters don't have to talk for the audience to feel the loss, love and desire they're experiencing.

A small film, sensitive and, in its own way, quite effective. [Full Review in Spanish]

The movie is good at (very) slowly turning up the heat, but a lot of it comes out half-baked.

There is an earnest, emotional truth to the characters and their relationships - which is plain to see in their faces, even when secrets are being hidden.

Credit first-time writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer with pulling off something of a miracle.

Rather than an over-the-top melodrama, it asks profound questions about human nature, empathy, and our value beyond archaic doctrines that separate more than unite.
August 05, 2018
A tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief.

Graizer take his time and never feels the need to spell everything out, and "The Cakemaker" is a testament to what filmmakers can achieve when they trust the audience.
August 27, 2018
Natural performances from Kalkhof and Adler root the melodrama in genuine pathos.

A beautiful film that explores love, loss, and religion.
