Sushi is gross but this was a delight to watch~ I want to see an Americanized version of this about some greasy spoon shit hole resturant, Keith Dreams of Ribs or something; it would be something.

A fascinating look into the almost ascetic life of the world's best sushi chef. It offers an interesting display of the perculiar Japanese work ethic and it's inspiring to gain insight into a world where almost extreme effort is put into the craft of slapping raw fish on top of lukewarm rice. A world where it takes 10 years to become a decent sushi chef (6 months of those apparently spent learning how to make an acceptable omelet).

Those RED cameras are pretty damn amazing when in the right hands, capturing sumptuous, almost otherworldly images which, combined with Phillip Glass' score, filled me with an exhilarating sensation. A fine documentary about cultivation of talent and unconditional devotion to your work, capped with a touch of well-placed wisdom.

My taste buds rn't refined enough 2 get through this. It's bad enough the focus of the doc is a misguided d-ckhead, what's worse is that his allegedly biblical skills w/ sushi(!!) have created a fawning coterie of food critics 2 kiss his a-s. He does 4 sushi what a pricey label does 4 wine: makes pretentious types think they're seeing the emperor's new clothes. There r art forms w/ a great deal of actual CONTENT 4 passionate artists 2 slave over; sushi ain't one of them. Stop kidding yourselves

Very slight, repeating itself a fair bit and spacing out its 80-minute runtime with instrumental cooking montages, but it really doesn't matter when it's this fascinating. Jiro is such an interesting man, seeming both intimidating and jolly at almost all times, and his passion and dedication to his craft is simply remarkable. I liked that the movie doesn't try and add any bias over whether Jiro was right to make his sons stay with him, merely presents the facts and lets you make up your mind.

Jiro takes his craft supernaturally seriously, and is an awe-inspiring and intimidating presence to his sons, employees and even his customers, yet has a lightness and sense of humour that seems to come with the singleminded pursuit of his passion. Nicely photographed, with a good Philip Glass score.

It is a fine example of supreme dedication to one's work. i can't even fathom putting the same kind of effort in to my work/life, and I really wish I could. It's a little worrying that when you looked at the new apprentices, that this way of life probably won't be able to continue once he's gone.

It's a documentary about a man with an obsession. His whole life revolves around making sushi, which seems like his only source of satisfaction. He even made his sons get into the same business, as if that's the only way he can appreciate them. The film also has an unnecessary abundance of slow motion cooking scenes. Overall it's just very shallow.

Jiro devoted his whole life to making the best sushi. I don't much care about that, nor the endless shots of Sushi in its many variations. What I did find interesting was the way he domineered his sons into following the same path. They never come out and say it, and on the surface they're happy being middle aged Sushi chefs in the shadow of their father, but there's some interesting stuff lurking in the shadows. I wish there was more of that and less sushi, but there was enough to satisfy.

A great documentary that works on multiple levels - not only is it a fantastic examination on the extent to which one can - or should - be dedicated to their work and how one can always be trapped in the shadow of their parents, but it's fun too - it's riveting watching these little pieces of sushi get made, and I'm not going to pretend I don't love Philip Glass. Score is not a grade.

It's amazing to see the mouth-watering sushi being made (and they could hardly have been photographed more beautifully) and the insights into the techniques, the chefs, and the 83-year-old protagonist's life, family and philosophy are captivating. But honestly, the unanimous worship of Jiro is a bit over the top and sycophantic, and there is a lot of repetition within. This documentary could easily have been condensed into 30-45 minutes without losing much.

A very Japanese documentary, minimal design and structure focused on a very Japanese restaurant with an olden style regimented work ethic. '10 years learning to prepare the fish then you can move to cooking the eggs.' Feels like Jiro is a member of Akira Kurosawa's '7 Samurai' forever honing his skill in the preparation of sushi.

An interesting, yet nori wrap thin documentary of a man on a mission... to create the world's most perfect sushi. His whole life is dedicated to this pursuit, and being from a culinary background, I can appreciate his zeal and tenacity. But the documentary doesn't really delve into why customers regard this shop as the best sushi in Tokyo. It just fawns over Jiro like he's some mystical, beguiling force of culinary nature.

Comparing making a fish dish to making music with an orchestra must be a record in pretentiousness. Jiro, a shell of a human being, has done the same thing every day for decades without a single thought passing through his brain, and this is somehow something to be applauded? Exploring the luxury food industry and the psychology of people who fall for it would make a fine documentary, but this one is just an advertisement imitating a documentary.

One of the great documentaries, because its titular subject is only half the story. "Dreams" can be replaced with "insane work ethic", and you get a better idea of the moral: "If one dedicates one's life to something, do it well". Success is simply a by-product.

I'm not particularly passionate about sushi, so some of this documentary fell a little flat for me. But as a look at a person's life, it was reasonably interesting. Jiro is definitely worth taking a look at. I kept changing my mind on how I felt about him and his choice to dedicate his entire life to sushi - is it admirable, or kinda sad? Anyway, it was a nice, simplistic film, and a good look at Japanese culture.

Genial if sluggishly paced portrait of Ono would probably have been better suited to a shorter format, as the almost perverse unwillingness to examine Ono's life more broadly makes the film repetitive and even mildly frustrating - as delicious as the dishes Ono makes look, and their preparation fascinating, there's really not enough "meat" here for a fully fledged feature. Still an entertaining (and mouth watering) diversion.

Too many slo-mo food-porn interludes of the chefs slicing tuna etc. to classical music. All of this should have been cut. Less than an hour's worth of material stretched to 90m. A fairly typical master-craftsman story. We only need to hear stuff like "in 10 tuna, only one can be the best. I buy that one" once before we get the picture. No compromises, only perfection etc. etc.. Needed more detail about *how* they made the sushi, examples of the tiny difference between acceptable and not.

Not bad, but at the end of the day, the values it praises are bit underwhelming for me. The more meticulous and disciplined you cook, the better is the food, and the more you ought to enjoy it, seems to be the argument here, which I don't really endorse. Plus, Jiro's image is an oppressive and traumatic force for his sons, who will feel the burden forever. I like my food when it is liberating, life-affirming, and less perfectionist.

You know you are deep into your craft when you dream about the food you make. This is what happens to Jiro Ono. This movie follows Jiro around his business and the wonderful Sushi that he makes. It may seem simple compared to other sushi concoctions but in it's simplicity an explosion of flavor comes out of that fish and rice combination. Jiro is and adorable man and his sons seem to have a good head on their shoulders...

I'm pretty conflicted. I'm a big fan of fish, sushi, and food in general, like seeing how stuff is made too. But I don't really like documentaries, and I definitely don't like the whole fancy food mentality, of "you eat what the chef prepares, you don't get to order" kind of mentality--it strikes me as pompous, or conceited. I pay for someone to make food that I will like, not that the chef will like and he'll allow me to eat. Nevertheless, Jiro is an interesting guy, and the movie is decent.

Holy crap, do I feel inadequate after watching 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'. Jiro is a man with purpose. He lives to create and does so with the most fervent passion. That passion spills into the men he works with, two of which are his sons. Everyone has praise for the man. It does well to explain how he can charge $300 a plate with bookings 3 months in advance. The conflict comes with what will happen to his legacy when he's gone. It does well to challenge that and makes the ending resonate deeply.

I liked seeing how towards the end, he acknowledged his staff doing most of the work while he receives most of the accolades.

This is an interesting look into the borderline religious fervour with which the world's greatest sushi chef approaches his work. Yet it's the look at the man that's ultimately the draw here, as he slowly opens up over the course of the documentary to reveal that he's not entirely the hard-centred workaholic he presents himself as at the start - he's very concerned that he did right by his kids in working so much during their childhood. It's a very endearing look into his life.

Very pleasurable documentary about Jiro Ono, the proprietor of a tiny Tokyo sushi restaurant, widely regarded as one of the finest on Earth. Jiro himself is a quiet, unassuming man, utterly devoted to sushi, with a sly, dry wit. The preparation and philosophy of Jiro's sushi, and the devotion of his staff, are fascinating to see--and the food itself looks damned delicious A little slow-paced and repetitive, but on the whole a boon for sushi lovers and neophytes. Excellent choice of music.

I cannot imagine being that rigidly focused to one set of skills, and yet the absolute craft of it all is amazing.

Inspirational like any other movie I've seen so far. Somehow it teaches how to live a simple yet incredible life and at the same time it teaches you the most important thing - work, work, work hard and you will eventually be a master of what you were doing. Incredible story. This movie has driven me to start learning this job and I hope someday I will taste Jiro's or his sons sushi. Hopefully someday.

Our fascination with those that master their craft is indisputable. The drive and relentless pursuit to be better than the day before is evident in Jiro's passionate love letter to food.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! This film has such a warm sense of humor. Felt awkward when realizing the old man is not as sweet as he looks tho: "there's no place for you to return to if you don't succeed- oh, and it has to be within the sushi-biz?!" Talk about tough love! And he has people massaging octopus for 50 minutes!!!! that's intense, man. but you know how it is, to make a sushi roll, you gotta break some spirits
