“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park,” wrote Anthony Bourdain. “Enjoy the ride.” This is the modus operandi that takes shape in Matt Johnson’s comedy-drama Tony. Rather than telling the legendary chef’s entire life story, the film focuses on a time long before Kitchen Confidential or Parts Unknown—one transformative summer in Provincetown, when Bourdain was 19. Dominic Sessa brings the future chef to life, capturing the uncertainty of a young man stumbling into the restaurant world that would become his rock-star arena. Equal parts coming-of-age story and heartbreaking biopic, Tony carries a poignancy that needs no further explanation. —Carolina de Armas
