The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014)

Family migrates to France from India after the tragic loss of their matriarch and family restaurant. They set up shop right across from a very fancy French restaurant and set off a culinary war with its owner.

This was all broad strokes and shortcuts without subtlety or subtext. Proper frenchwoman is incensed! But then she melts when she tastes the spices! Pretty mademoiselle falls for chef! But then gets petulant when he’s more successful than she! Indian patriarch is a cheapskate! Let's just order something else, because there's no way this is going to satisfy.
