Comedy, Drama

An old Jewish baker struggles to keep his business afloat until his young Muslim apprentice drops cannabis in the dough and sends sales sky high.

The critical consensus

Has a number of things gently going for it. Chief among these is a reliable cast of fine actors.

The plot may turn on a hoary comic conceit, but its plea for tolerance in troubled times is as welcome as the familiar faces in the willing cast.

In their rush to provide a happy ending, the filmmakers lose sight of many of their own supporting characters and fill the plot with far too many artificial sweeteners.

It’s heart may be in the right place but Dough doesn’t quite rise above its predictable storyline.

Jonathan Pryce as a kosher baker and Jerome Holder as a dope dealer are among the ingredients in this under-risen north London comedy drama.
