piquant, zesty There are two important portions of this sentence to focus on. First, the word “praised,” implying that the critic’s review will be positive. The second part is the way he’s described as using “the language of food to describe films.” So you want two words that are positive and that could also be used to describe food. Spectacular and stupefying are an incorrect pair. They are both positive, but they aren’t generally used to describe food. Insipid (bland, tasteless, or flavorless) and brilliant have no relationship, and insipid is the opposite of what is needed in the blank.
