The script and brilliant acting summarise Burnt. You just want to spend time with Emma Thompson, drink wine with Daniel Brühl and eat Bradley Coopers food. The storyline is not to heavy or to light, just perfect!

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!

Better off watching any of the cooking centered anime series. Or just watch one of those cook off shows on TV since that portrays as you feel that there are actual stakes in their effort, and real emotions. This movie is just a plain drama of redemption that is coincidentally features chefs (but not cooking nor the passion in making the perfect dish). A standard formula that is made to showcase Bradley only. Nothing else.

(Flash Review)It appears the director aimed to portray Gordon Ramsey and what life may be like if you interact with him, only leave out Gordon's unique and arguable charm. The story arc was rather vanilla about a phenomenal chef who ruined his own early success for a decade and now is revitalized and wants to make another go at it in hopes of achieving the rare three Michelin stars. Yet he is still rude and harshly passionate while in the kitchen and in life. There were too many cliché moments and the romance angle was not believable. The plot focused more around the protagonist, his emotions and problems with the food as an afterthought. That's OK but they had a slew of elegant food shots but the editing was so frantic during those scenes that you couldn't even see what the food was or the beauty of the plating. At least give us that much in a high end food movie. The positives were the production and the acting as Bradley Cooper was great and Sienna Miller was invisible as her character. The Hundred-Foot Journey was a better food/chef movie and that was just a step above average.
