A film that brings together two of my great loves - amazing food and Bradley Cooper - Burnt does not disappoint.
Cooper plays a messed up aggressive chef which in many respects makes him thoroughly unlikeable but I'll be frank: he's HOT and HE SPEAKS FRENCH. IN LIFE AND IN THIS FILM.
The story's probably a tad predictable but if that's it's worst crime, I think it's doing ok.
His pursuit of three Michelin stars in his culinary comeback has ups and downs and one or two surprises in spite of the aforementioned predictability.
I personally loved the food porn element of the film. I love to cook and love to watch others cook, though all the yelling of a professional kitchen depicted in this film is a tad scary! YES CHEF!
Here's a three star review by News Ltd's Leigh Paatsch if you want to know more. I agree with his positive sentiment but also his observation about the supporting cast - there's a lot going on there, probably a little too much.
Happily recommend this one.
Trailer here. In cinemas now.
