What critics are saying about Like Water for Chocolate

“Like Water for Chocolate” begins in 1892 with Tita’s birth. The audience watches a pregnant Elena, dressed in widow’s black, chopping onions, in the kitchen at Las Palomas Ranch.Moreover, as is described in Esquivel’s novel, “Like Water for Chocolate” truly dives into the magical realism of this world. Tita’s feelings, often brimming just underneath the surface, spill forth in mystical and unexplained ways. In Episode 2, Tita, gutted and heartbroken, becomes despondent. It’s as if a deep, frigid cold has taken control of her body.
