# Five Star Reviews
I may have mentioned in the past that I used to have a website where I tried to watch 365 movies every year. It was called "A Film a Day", and my special hook was that every film received 5-stars.
It was the goal of my review to properly set the tone for a viewer so that they could experience those 5-stars. Sometimes this meant diving into theme and cinematography, and other times it meant recommending large quantities of alcohol, or watching during a loud party.
I don't have the time freedom to do the 365 films a year anymore, but I do still watch plenty of things. I'm going to dust off my Five Star Reviews premise and start adding them here.
You can find them here:

# Babette's Feast (1987)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
## Five Star Review
Babette's Feast is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves no less than a 5-star rating. The movie is an adaptation of a short story by Isak Dinesen and has been directed by Gabriel Axel. It is a heartwarming tale of self-sacrifice and the power of food to bring people together.
The story revolves around two sisters, Martine and Philippa, who live in a small, devoutly religious community in Denmark. They are the daughters of a minister and have dedicated their lives to serving their community. However, when a French refugee named Babette arrives in their village, their lives are forever changed.
Babette is a talented chef who has fled war-torn France. The sisters take her in and offer her a job as their housekeeper. Over the years, Babette becomes a part of the community and earns the respect and love of the villagers. When she wins the lottery, she decides to prepare a feast for the community to show her gratitude for their kindness.
The feast is a spectacular event, and the food Babette prepares is exquisite. However, the true power of the feast lies in its ability to bring the community together and heal old wounds. As the villagers indulge in the delicious food and wine, they open up to each other and share their stories, hopes, and fears. They rediscover the joy of life and the power of forgiveness.
The film's theme of self-sacrifice is a critical aspect of its success. Babette's decision to spend all of her lottery winnings on the feast is a testament to her character and her love for the community. Her act of selflessness inspires the villagers to let go of their resentments and see each other as human beings rather than just members of a religious community. It is a powerful message of what can be achieved when people put aside their differences and work towards a common goal.
The cinematography in the film is simply breathtaking, and the use of natural light and color beautifully captures the mood and feel of the Danish landscape. The simple and minimalist approach of the film truly complements the story, and the director's careful direction and attention to detail is evident in every frame.
The performances of the cast, particularly Brigitte Federspiel as Martine and Bodil Kjer as Philippa, are outstanding. The way their relationship progresses throughout the movie, from being close sisters to eventually living separate lives, is poignant and emotionally impactful.
In conclusion, Babette's Feast is a must-watch for anyone who loves great cinema, food, and a heartwarming story. The film's themes of self-sacrifice, forgiveness, and community are timeless and universal. It is a testament to the power of art to bring people together and inspire us to be better human beings.
