Leave your thoughts about Burnt.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordFans of "Top Chef" or reruns of Julia Child's "French Chef" will be drawn to "Burnt" |
| Lainey GossipSarah MarrsThe whole romantic subplot is really off putting. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyIt's intended to be a tale of redemption but Adam doesn't have a lot of redeeming qualities. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn under-cooked comedy about the food business. |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonBurnt is an enjoyable entry in this subgenre, anchored by a rangy Bradley Cooper performance and marbled with food. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSmart, funny, emotionally affecting -- if maybe a little overstuffed -- film anchored to interesting characters is much better than you've perhaps been led to believe. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... Director John Wells ... effectively captures the controlled chaos of the kitchen, and Adam's personal growth is as satisfying as it is predictable. |

| AllMovieViolet LeVoit. . . This story of how a troubled exile achieves healing through a creative partnership with a woman equally devoted to their shared craft is familiar ground . . . Burnt could be re-titled Silver Linings Cookbook. |
| ObserverRex ReedA 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. |
