Really this movie is just about a two star chef who wants to come back into the game, but his past gets in the way of his goal. clearly shows he doesn't understand the power of people and learns it in the end. thats it.

As both a food film and a character film, this fails on both. The characters are overdone, unrealistic, exaggerated but somehow also two dimensional. The main character goes through a journey of development and improvement that is both fake and forced. As a food film, the shots of food, cooking, and discussions about food are not at all honest or pleasurable. Pointless film, overall. There are so many better food films these days, you'd be silly to waste your time on this one or consider it a movie for others to live up to.

I just happened to watch this film with no expectations. It turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. A perfect blend of great acting and witty dialogue. Bradley Cooper and Daniel Bruhl are particularly excellent. This film exposed a world I was unaware of in the kitchens of top chefs. The pressure and the conditions that exist when pursuing Michelin validation. Highly recommended. I rate it a 9 out of 10.

As my click-batty title may apply, I really enjoyed watching this movie!Everything in it is just gold!I am becoming a real fanboy of Bradley. Everything he plays in is just freaking amazing! - sorry for the passion - but you can really see his preparation of each role. The fact that he knows French, studied Gordon Ramsey and other great chefs, worked in a kitchen for a while, really shows in this masterpiece of a movie! I also liked the little touch, that not everyone may know, where most of the kitchen staff, were actually real cooks and chefs. I was a bit skeptical about all other actors, like Sienna, Daniel, etc., but... bravo (clap, clap). They were amazing.The movie resonates with me on a deep level, since I'm a business owner, working in the creative field and aiming to reach the premium level as portraid here. In a nutshell. Great movie with an amazing story and some of the best performances I ever seen.A must watch!
