Burnt
Stream
Rent & Buy
Adam Jones 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.
What critics thought
Critics broadly dismissed Burnt as a squandered opportunity: Bradley Cooper's committed performance is the one thing most reviewers agreed on, while the clichéd script and thinly written supporting characters drew widespread scorn. The culinary setting promised texture and atmosphere, but critics found the storytelling too formulaic and the protagonist too abrasive to generate much heat.
“Steven Knight's script pours on the acid but holds the depth, forcing its fine actors (including Sienna Miller and Daniel Bruhl) to function less as an ensemble than as a motley sort of intervention group.”
