What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It's all too familiar, too rudimentary, and while the kitchen they're working in is top-of-the-line the meal they ultimately prepare isn't that much better than a Denny's breakfast left under the heat lamps a few minutes too many. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 22, 2016 Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic Burnt is, to be clear, not a good movie. It is in fact a pretty terrible movie. Jul 22, 2016 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Mostly, I thought Burnt was ridiculous. And yet I cannot tell a lie. Its familiar beats, comely cast, and lively kitchen montages entertained me. Rated: 2/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Due entirely to his talent and appeal, two hours of Bradley-being-Bradley works and the film will rightly entertain at an acceptable superficial level. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Despite all of the beautiful cuisine and energetic kitchen chaos, “Burnt” is simply a half-baked redemption tale. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Olly Richards NME (New Musical Express) Bradley Cooper plays a deplorable chef in a fatty, undercooked film. Rated: 2/5 Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

greg v If you have ever worked in a kitchen professionally this movie is a home run. If you are a keyboard warrior for a living you probably hated it. As a professional chef there are so many real moments in this movie. It's a movie you can watch over and over again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Juliet W I didn't check Rotten Tomatoes until halfway through the movie just because I became curious, and I was so surprised to see how low the critic and popcornometer scores were. I thought this movie was absolutely fantastic, so well casted and performed. Still a little confused why the scores are so low, watch it and find out for yourself Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review J O So underrated this movie “top critics” are based on the food time - it’s a movie not a really restaurant. Good watch, nice romantic restaurant movie. Watched it on the plain (was excited to fly back and finish it) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Thomas R Bradley Cooper plays an unlikeable, egotistical and macho chef in a too predictable drama/romance/comedy that just nearly manages to be entertaining. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Chris K Meh - really sums it up. It wasn't anything special. I'd rather not have wathced it, but I don't feal cheated. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is exactly what you expect it to be. A guy who is basically very talented but eccentric tries to get back on the horse and conquer the world, chef wise. I like the movie and the fact that it shows the stressful environment within the kitchen. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
