The Washington Post
pressDough never leaves any doubt about where it’s going or what it’s trying to say, serving up a recipe that we’ve not only had many times before, but we’ve had enough of.
The New York Times
pressSweet, often funny and always nonthreatening, a movie for those who wish the intractable realities of the world would just disappear.
Los Angeles Times
pressA stickily genteel, cross-cultural comedy-drama that comes up blandly lacking on all counts.
Hollywood Reporter
pressFortunately, the terrific lead performances by Jonathan Pryce and newcomer Jerome Holder are enough to help Dough rise above its formulaic ingredients.

pressIt's tempting to ask whether the writers were high when they came up with the concept for Dough, except that the film itself makes it clear that they don't have a lot of experience in that area.
