Watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi For Free

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The cinematic notoriety of this outstanding documentary and all-for-ever presence within the recommendation lists for watching, come close to the number of people, who generally stops one step before. Who would have thought that a private and intimate story of one Japanese sushi chef, depicting his daily gastronomy routine, can easily tide you with a screen for one and a half hours with strong emotional feedback. At first sight, monotonous dialogues and monologues with only a few characters, in fact motivate and inspire to do the best you can regardless of your age or occupation, place of birth, talents and outer vision of others for your life. "Jiro Dreams of Sushi", as well as Earth in ancient myths with turtles, lies on three undisputed values - three examples of mastery and perfection. The first mastery of this documentary lies on a turtle called Japan. For centuries western civilization has been excited within this land of notorious traditions, picturesque nature and mentality. Our protagonist personifies the very Japan mentality, as well as industriousness, the highest level of self-discipline and self-awareness, strong work ethic and loyalty to national heritage. We passionately follow Jiro on the way from his home to the restaurant, walk along the streets of Tokyo, go Japanese rural, getting acquainted with the elderly people close to their roots. Ninety minutes can grant you with a strong interest of future visit to Japan. The second mastery lies on Sushi. This traditional and maybe the most recognizable Japanese dish, the very symbol of the Land of the Rising Sun, here presents even more than a metaphor for life and mastery. We experience a very "delicious" movie. In this respect, your visit frequency of the sushi restaurants will not play the major role in the perception of the documentary. "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" does not rise ambitions to seize the complete variety of national cuisines. The story itself ascetic in respect to Jiro. We deeply satisfy the cooking process, macro shots of the best tuna, sorted by third-generation professionals, footage of an ideal omelette, which may challenge ten years to experience its genius. The third mastery centers around Jiro himself and, in particular, the principles which this documentary may teach us. Though his 85-year age, Jiro dreams of achieving greatness and complete perfection in his craft. You can outperform your most dare dreams and goals, on condition you have it. Our sushi chef has been improving his craft mastery for the last half a century, day by day and with passionate persistence. Jiro strongly believes that only a complete immersion and discipline of excellence can transform a person to a master and truly happy individual. In this strong perspective, the owner of the Tokyo sushi restaurant, awarded with three Michelin stars, can change the world, make it better, including means of the movie in this documentary. The end credits call you to take a sheet of paper and a pen and to reconsider your life priorities and dreams and to take first inspirited actions. We all have our variation of "Dreams of sushi", waiting for mastery.

I don't think this movie lives up to all the hype it has received. If you are a chef or just a food lover you would probably like this movie a whole lot more than me. It seemed to be more about food porn and less about the story of the owner. I tried to watch this movie on two separate occasions and both times I could not finish the movie. It became boring after about 45 minutes and I had to stop. Don't get me wrong, this movie is still good and the story of the Owner is very touching but I thought I could have been done much better.

What a unique personality, I was really glued to the screen for most of the movie, who knew so much detail could go into such a simple looking dish such as sushi.I don't think I'll ever look at food the same way. Kinda feel bad for his son for having to fill such big shoes, seems though like he's doing a great jobJero Dreams of Sushi - Master one craft in your life. Become the top#1 in the world - Taste and smell food as best you can, you're missing out - strive for constant improvement. There's no such thing as perfectDvirp.s. wonder when I'll have the chance to visit this restaurant!

Shokujin, they call them, people who are not only good at what they do, but they gladly do it out of passion and continue to feel the need to improve at any time. Jiro is such a craftsman, an 85 sushi master who started working in the field when he was 10. That makes his continuing career last for 75 years.Obsessed with his work, he leaves at 6 and comes back at 22, working for 16 hours and never complaining. His two sons are helping him with the business. The youngest already has his own restaurant branch; that's because the elder brother is traditionally supposed to continue his father's work. At 85, Jiro doesn't show signs he ever wants to retire, though.It is a very impressive glimpse in the Japanese culture, the family, sushi, and very inspiring, as well. I am good at what I do and most of the time I love doing it, but some times I just bitch about it and give less than my all. Improving myself is not always my first priority. This film shows you what a man is like that does that religiously every day. A very interesting documentary, I recommend it to all, no matter your own opinion about sushi.There are some slipups in the film, though. Focused on Jiro's brilliant persona, no one even considers criticizing his faults. The documentary presents him as a living god, only giving some hints on what his childhood was like and how that translated into his own children's education. But what I thought was a glaring omission was the wife. You only see her smiling in one scene - one! - in the entire movie. She is the one that probably stays at home the entire day and has waking contact with her husband for one or two hours at most.While he boasts at actually dreaming of how to improve sushi when he sleeps, I've only noticed traditional methods of cooking in his restaurant, which I suspect has been having the same kitchen protocol for decades. I understand that he is a hard working genius, an uncompromising cook that deals only with the best product vendors and prepares and cooks sushi in the best possible way he could devise, but that shouldn't have made the documentary creators ignore his personal life, or lack thereof, and how it affects the people closest to him. There were enough hints in the film to not feel that this was intentional.Bottom line: almost one hour and a half of watching and listening to people talking about the perfect sushi taste made me ravenously crave fish. I would probably appreciate it better by eating it Penguin style, but still. I thought the film would bore me, but I actually followed it from start to finish without fast forwarding once and I felt inspired while watching it. While it is easy to appreciate the consummate craftsman who dedicates all to his passion and work, I can't see myself enjoying the life of a shokujin. Jiro is totally happy with it, though. There is something to be learned from that.
