When I decided to watch 'Sitting in Bars with Cake' over the weekend, I was not expecting it to turn out to be one of my favourite films of the year. I went into the film expecting a fluffy chick-flick, with no idea that I'd end up crying throughout its majority.
Adapted from a cookbook of the same name, 'Sitting in Bars with Cake' follows a pair of best friends who embark on a 'cakebarring' endeavour. Jane is a shy 20-something who enjoys baking cakes, and her best friend Corinne encourages her to take baked goods to bars in order to meet new people. Unfortunately, there is a setback to this venture when Jane gets diagnosed with a life-altering illness.
'Sitting in Bars with Cake' is a moving film about the importance of friendship. It touches on the power of food in bringing people together. The film is bound to resonate with anyone who enjoyed 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl', 'The Fault in Our Stars', 'Julie & Julia', 'Waitress', 'Now Is Good' and 'Chocolat'.
