Reviews

Sad and sweet, and with a rare lyricism, "The Cakemaker" believes in a love that neither nationality, sexual orientation nor religious belief can deter.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

It's extraordinary work and hopefully the first of many cinematic poems from Graizer.

Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com

Kalkhof has perfect chemistry with both Miller and Adler. The characters don't have to talk for the audience to feel the loss, love and desire they're experiencing.
