Cook Off is a 2017 Zimbabwean romantic comedy film written and directed by Tomas Brickhill. Set in contemporary middle class society of Harare, the film stars Tendaiishe Chitima, Fungai Majaya and Tehn Diamond. Production of the film was delayed by power failures, budget constraints, anti-government protests, and riots which erupted during the final stages of the Presidency of Robert Mugabe. It is the first film released after the Zimbabwe Mugabe era, which lasted for nearly 40 years. The film also became the first Zimbabwean film to be streamed on Netflix. It is the second Zimbabwean film to reach Western audiences and critics since Neria, in 1991. The film received critical acclaim in Zimbabwe, with some drawing comparisons to the cultural influence of Neria and Yellow Card. The film is credited by journalists domestically as a milestone in the Zimbabwean film industry, which has been troubled by economic crisis and hyperinflation.
