Burnt Review

Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) was once a top chef in Paris until drugs and alcohol led to a meltdown that put his career on hold. Back in Paris, a while ago, he blew it all on booze and substance abuse and alienated everyone. But he has cleaned up his act, and now finds himself wandering around various dull luxury tourist locations in London, keen to take over a flagging restaurant at the Langham Hotel, achieve the fabled Michelin three-star rating and get redemption. Burnt is a remarkably funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances. Burnt is truly an excellent comedy-drama film.

Burnt is rated R for language including some sexual references, and drug use.
