A nice premise

7/10

"Thomas Lennon's "Knife Skills" tells the story of Edwins, a restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio, staffed almost entirely by ex-cons, who learn the fine art of French cooking over the course of weeks, not years. It's a sensitive and optimistic portrayal of people eager for second chances, and a proprietor whose overwhelming sense of shame demands that he make them the offer... It's worth a watch but not as deserving than the eventual winner, "The Silent Child"..."
