Burnt offers a few spoonfuls of compelling culinary drama, but they're lost in a watery goulash dominated by an unsavory main character and overdone clichés.

Anyone who makes an informed decision to watch Burnt might want to bring a bingo-card of dramatic cliches to tick off during the run-time. Nov 9, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Burnt wants to be viewed as a post-modern, emotionally hardcore odyssey; a foodie version of Birdman. At once too earnest and too glossily daft to measure up, it's actually closer in mood to an Eighties Agatha Christie TV special. Nov 6, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

With a title that already reeks of failure, Bradley Cooper's turn in Burnt as a Michelin-starred chef making a comeback from coke-induced burnout is best avoided. Nov 5, 2015 | Rating: 1/5

Never comes to life, with each two-dimensional character mouthing platitudes designed to tell you what to think about them. Nov 3, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

A macho foodie fantasy with Cooper as a swaggering sex god in an apron. If this were a comedy, it would be brilliant. Oct 30, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Barreling his way through scene after scene of sweary, shouty kitchen violence, the three-time Oscar nominee excels where the screenplay, script (and everything else) doesn't. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Burnt is a mess disguised as a feel-good film, and not a very good one at that. Cooper's character is not someone you can root for and even the romance between he and Sienna Miller isn't genuine. Apr 10, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

What could have been a Whiplash-style study of perfectionist obsession is diluted into a middling affair unsure which of its many flavours to plump for. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

While BURNT is unquestionably a feast for the senses, it's missing some of the core ingredients that keep us from truly savoring it. Mar 30, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

With watered down performances and underdeveloped storylines, "Burnt" needs a bit more seasoning, more time to rise and better ingredients to give us the melt-in-your-mouth film. Aug 22, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
