Simply A Masterpiece

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The first must-see film of the year.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

As my click-batty title may apply, I really enjoyed watching this movie!Everything in it is just gold!I am becoming a real fanboy of Bradley. Everything he plays in is just freaking amazing! - sorry for the passion - but you can really see his preparation of each role. The fact that he knows French, studied Gordon Ramsey and other great chefs, worked in a kitchen for a while, really shows in this masterpiece of a movie! I also liked the little touch, that not everyone may know, where most of the kitchen staff, were actually real cooks and chefs. I was a bit skeptical about all other actors, like Sienna, Daniel, etc., but... bravo (clap, clap). They were amazing.The movie resonates with me on a deep level, since I'm a business owner, working in the creative field and aiming to reach the premium level as portraid here. In a nutshell. Great movie with an amazing story and some of the best performances I ever seen.A must watch!

This is why critics can only be used as a guide. I understand why the reception for this film might be low, but I do not agree. I feel that the pros outweigh the cons in this situation and that criticism was harsh overall. Why? The Good. * Yes, it was mostly cliché and predictable. Key word, mostly. It was not exactly an accurate representation of the chef life. However, there were enough unexpected detours and plot twists (admittedly, "twists" might be a little strong) to make it a pleasure to watch. *Bradley Cooper plays his usual role, tough boy hiding his soft heart with his defense mechanisms, but he does this character splendidly. I, for one, do not tire of it. When a great actor had found something he does well, he can mix it up enough in each performance to perfect it. * Supporting cast including Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl, Omar Sy, Matthew Rhys, Alicia Vikamder, Emma Thompson, and Uma Thurman may not have had much screen time, but they were nevertheless impressive all around. * Cinematographer Adriano Goldman is meticulous with his magnificent food shots, but also gives notable care to showing us the city of London from different perspectives. * Quite the quotable film. For one thing, it had quite a lot to teach us about leadership and success if we take the time to really analyze the dialogue. Sara: He scares me. David: He is a two-star Michelin chef. He is supposed to be scary. Sara: Well, "two" doesn't seem like many. David: To get even one Michelin star, you have to be like Luke Skywalker. Okay? To get two, you have to be whoever Alec Guinness was. But if you manage to get three, you are Yoda. Sara: Well, what if he's Darth Vader?Adam: Consistency is death... No, a chef should strive to be consistent in experience, but not consistent in taste. It's like sex. It's like, you're always headed to the same place, but you got to find new and dangerous way of getting there.Adam: Cooking is an expression of what? Tell me. Helene: At its best, of sustaining someone with love. Adam: I do not want it to be a place where you come and eat. We should be dealing in culinary orgasms. When's the last time you had an orgasm that was interesting?... People eat because they are hungry. I want to make food that makes people stop eating. Cooking is an expression of who we are... I want people to sit at that table and be sick with longing. Reece: You are better than me. But the rest of us need you to lead us to places we would not otherwise go. Doctor Rosshilde: There is strength in needing others, not weakness. The Bad. * Admittedly, the plot was a little generic, full transformation for our hero. But, sometimes generic is generic because it works. * The LGBT part where Tony is in love with Adam was weird and distracting. Since it did not add anything substantial to the story, it probably did more harm than good. * I would have preferred the film take that risk and have Adam not get that third Michelin Star. Like the psychoanalyst played by Emma Thompson, "What happens when you get that third star? What happens if you fail?" It would have been nice to see this bad boy actually not get this and see how he deals. * To elaborate on the accuracy of this film, perhaps I should clarify that it might be accurate as a guide, but as most Hollywood films unfortunately do, it focuses on more entertaining situations than the mundane duties. In general, I support accuracy over watchability, but I have to admit that sometimes we simply want to be entertained.

I respect them. I go out of my way to try new cuisines, new establishments, different approaches to dining, and especially unique dishes and even novelty ones. I do not discriminate against the local hole in the walls because those are often the best. Marcus Wareing and Mario Batalo were behind this film as Chef Consultants. Gordon Ramsey was a producer. Clare Smyth trained with Bradley Cooper. You better bet that, with their names on this, it was at least a somewhat accurate representation of the culinary world, or "The Industry" as those in the know tend to call it. It does not surprise me that, as a boy, Cooper wanted to be either a chef or an actor. He also played a chef previously in the series "Kitchen Confidential", based on none other than the eminent Anthony Bourdain. Last but not least, there were some pretty orgasmic food shots and montages in the beautiful kitchens as Adam was in his element. * Maybe it was cliché to some, but the final scene almost bought a tear to my eyes to see Chef Adam sit down for the first time with his crew for a family dinner. His final lines were to give appreciation and the closing shot was Helene smiling at him, acknowledging the significance of this. He is finally letting go a little, learning to trust others. As evidenced in his reaction when Michelin showed up this time (composed, carrying on as always versus panicking & yelling at everyone in the kitchen), he is finally working on his Lone Ranger Syndrome. It should be noted that I am actually the first person to react cynically to a bow-tie Hollywood ending, but this time it worked for me.

Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) is a chef who destroyed his career with drugs and diva behavior. He cleans up and returns to London, determined to redeem himself by spearheading a top restaurant that can gain three Michelin stars. Burnt is the kind of film that once again critics got wrong cause i don't know what they were expecting? But this movie was pretty damn good especially Bradley Cooper seems like he worked the chef part a lot especially that scene where he started wrecking the kitchen and humiliating the rest of the people that work for him plus the cast is really good you have some pretty talented people and famous names such as Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl, Omar Sy, Emma Thompson, Uma Thurman, Lily James and Alicia Vikander. After you finish this film you will definitely feel like starving. Burnt isn't just a great movie but also a great comedy about dreams, love and food.

Lemme guess he used to be great but 'threw it all away'. He's on a mission of personal redemption. Every one love hates him. He falls in love with his chief competition who of course hates him and adores him. He's substituted drugs and booze for being a colossal a-hole user of people because he's just that talented. He IS the most interesting man in the world. Before him no one ate food. Other than that this is movie where you hear Bradley speak pretty French where you watch people make and eat pretty good food and there's a lot and I mean a lot of histrionics.
