Pressure Cooker, 2008, Documentary
Plot: This film follows a culinary class in a Philadelphia high school through a cooking competition for scholarships.
Thoughts: A really heartwarming movie that was very emotional and feel-good. The class is taught by Wilma Stephenson, a very “real” and tough minded individual who speaks what’s on her mind and is not afraid to back down to anyone. She really cares for her students and it shows. Everyone should have an instructor like her if they really want to be real with themselves and grow as an individual.
It is amazing what anyone can do when they put their minds to something and have a great support system. The movie goes through their entire year of high school (many of the characters are seniors) and it shows how they have grown over the year. Great movie.
4.6/5
