A two-star Michelin rockstar with the bad habits to match, the former enfant terrible of the Paris restaurant scene did everything different every time out, and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste.

A mildly entertaining but well acted, sumptuously photographed and smartly written comedy with dark undertones about culinary addiction that can only be called “delicious.” See it and then check your cholesterol. Read full review

An imperfectly executed but still perfectly enjoyable film. Read full review

Cooper can do this kind of arrogant-but-irresistible golden boy shtick in his sleep, but that doesn't make it any less pleasurable to watch. Flashing his baby blues and a fiery temper, the actor gives a fully engaged performance that almost makes us want to forgive the movie’s laziness. Almost. Read full review

There’s never any doubt that redemption is the end-game for Jones, but the claim for his saving is weak sauce; the case against him has been too emphatically, if unintentionally, argued. Read full review

Since John Wells is a director of some conscience and screenwriter Steven Knight is in fact capable of first-rate work, Burnt packs some minor surprises and attractive details along its way. Read full review

A tasteless concoction - one gay character is particularly misjudged - that's instantly forgettable. Read full review

Everything in the by-the-numbers script signals that Adam must transform himself from and abusive tyrant in the kitchen to the head of a loving and fully functional family. Read full review

I guess I'm the only person that liked this film... I don't know why it got lower reviews, it was a great story and I thought it was interesting to peek into the uber top restaurant business. Well done :0)

Movies about foods and chefs are quite popular since the beginning of the cinema. Not only among the food lovers, but the movie fans, critics as well common people decides to book a table at a nearby best restaurant after watching a delicious film like this. At least one movie in every year makes us to talk about the foods for that entire week. Like the Jon Favreau's last year's 'Chef', this is 2015's.

On this theme, movies are always quite similar, except subplots like family, friends and sometimes foods from the different part of the earth as well. This film was not that brilliant when it comes to innovation in the story. The same old chef who comes back strongly after losing everything to get a another star. So what makes this special is that the actors, everyone was awesome. Even in smaller parts, especially the lead one Bradley Cooper makes all the difference.

There was a twist, but it does not make us say wow. Definitely it was a bit fun, filled with some dark humours. The slow, dull storytelling was almost like a soulless product, but anyway, kind of it worked well due to the style of film setting that created to narrate it. Feels like in the many scenes, characters were intensely dragged in like the cameos, otherwise it would have been very plain. Overall, it's not a best food/chef movie I've ever seen, but very much watchable and enjoyable.

We've seen this story line before, young and brilliant, but the higher the star, the bigger the fall. Only this time, it's a chef. Well, cooking shows are big on TV right now so I see the catch. Well done though, and I liked the cast of actors they put together.

Excellent movie ! There is nothing wrong about it, loved to watch the movie from beginning to the end. This is just an opinion, I don't provide any summary of the movie, you just have to see it.

If Alicia Vikander had a bigger role in the movie, I might have stayed with it longer. But as she didn't and as I didn't find the plot interesting, I gave up on it early on.

Burnt has a pretty solid first half, but falls apart in the latter half. The second half attempts to juggle comedy, drama, and romance, and fails to do so. Big name stars are completely wasted, some only given one lazy scene.

Bradley Copper is horrible, the story is a disaster, directing is garbage and what you get is a total failure of a film on every level. Burnt is so poorly put together you have to wonder whether the people behind this film even cared.
