Burnt (2015)

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

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.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Really this movie is just about a two star chef who wants to come back into the game, but his past gets in the way of his goal. clearly shows he doesn't understand the power of people and learns it in the end. thats it.

I walked out an hour into it and got my money back. It was in multiple dialogues of English, French, and Italian all at once. The dialogue didn't make sense. One person would say something, and the next person would say something completely unrelated. It's like they were all expressing their thoughts but not having a conversation. My head felt like it was going to explode. And when 3 years later I saw this DVD for sale at Walmart, I was reminded of how bad this movie and now I have a headache again. I don't understand how this piece of garbage could have won any reviews. Maybe the pharmaceutical companies paid money to give this money a reward in hopes people would go see it and then have to buy headache medication and antipsychotics to deal with the brain damage of having watching this piece of crap movie.

I just happened to watch this film with no expectations. It turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. A perfect blend of great acting and witty dialogue. Bradley Cooper and Daniel Bruhl are particularly excellent. This film exposed a world I was unaware of in the kitchens of top chefs. The pressure and the conditions that exist when pursuing Michelin validation. Highly recommended. I rate it a 9 out of 10.

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!
