BURNT (2015)

John Wells’ film from a screenplay by Steven Knight and Michael Kalesniko is a well crafted film that details one man’s redemption through the lens of the high end restaurant business to triumph over his personal demons while trying to earn a third Michelin star, his industries’ top honor. I enjoyed the film, the locations, the atmosphere of a business I really know nothing about, while being caught up in a story with some of today’s top actors including Sienna Miller, Omar Sy and Daniel Bruhl. This film provided a nice and pleasant diversion and though not a film to change one’s life, I appreciated the story and how it was told.
