Like a perfectly balanced meal that teases the taste buds with its complexity and charm, 'Culinary Cosmos' marries the whimsy of Renaissance revelry with the far-fetched fancy of science fiction. Steve Eclair's Leonardo is a delightful mélange of eccentricity and genius, a character that cooks up laughs as easily as he does his sumptuous feasts. Josh Duhamelon's turn as M.A.R.C., the cosmic culinary automaton, is both tender and precise, slicing through scenes with a robotic grace that's unexpectedly heartwarming. Elizabeth Tayberry's Lady Isabella brings a necessary dash of daring and human warmth, ensuring the film doesn't overindulge in its own cleverness. Under the direction of the pseudo-Scorsesean touch of Martin Scorseseal, this film is a visual banquet, with set pieces that are as meticulously crafted as the dishes they feature. The narrative, while sometimes meandering like a confused sous chef, ultimately finds its flavor, creating a family-friendly PG romp that's as much about breaking free from societal constraints as it is about breaking bread. 'Culinary Cosmos' may not be the choicest cut in the cinematic kitchen, but it's certainly a dish worth sampling for its playful palate and zestful zest.
