“Genuinely one of the best movies in years” is quickly climbing up the Netflix charts.
American Sniper stars Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller reunite for the 2015 comedy-drama Burnt, a culinary film about a brilliant but disgraced chef.
After destroying career with his temperamental behaviour, he tries to clean up his act and moves to London in a relentless pursuit to open a Michelin star restaurant.
Burnt may have only just been released on Netflix but it’s already made its already one of the streamer’s most-watched films, coming in at number eight in the charts.
And it’s easy to understand why with fans flooding Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb with high praise for the film from more than a decade ago.
While someone labelled it a “severely underrated movie”, another wrote: “If you like shows like House M.D. or Elementary… Ignore the reviewers. You’ll love this movie. I’ve been obsessed with it for years now.”
A third echoed: “This is an absolutely brilliant movie. Great acting, realistic scenes and great tempo. I highly recommend it!”
“I rarely feel so motivated and inspired after a movie”, someone else said. “So, my thanks to the director, writers, actors and producers for creating this movie!”
Others described it as “raw and incredible” and “truly excellent”, with someone commenting that it’s “one of my favourite films of all time”.
Another simply added: “Genuinely one of the best movies in years.”
Cooper and Miller aren’t the only fan-favourite stars to get excited about either in this comedy-drama.
They are joined by other mega stars like Kill Bill legend Uma Thurman, Tomb Raider’s Alicia Vikander, Mamma Mia icon Lily James and Love Actually star Emma Thompson.
In addition there’s Lupin on Netflix’s leading man Omar Sy, The Beast In Me actor Matthew Rhys and Dublin Murders’ Sarah Greene.

The Madison is the latest streaming sensation from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and it’s not to be missed now the first three episodes are available to stream on Paramount+.
Featuring an all-star cast led by two Hollywood heavyweights, the series follows a wealthy family based in New York who are forced to move to Montana following a devastating tragedy.
While they struggle to adapt to rural life, their stunning surroundings and friendly neighbours slowly but surely encourage them to open up to new possibilities.
Fans who have already tuned into the first half of this epic six-part drama are in luck, as three more episodes are arriving next Saturday and the series has already been renewed for a second season.
But who stars in The Madison and where will viewers have seen them before? Let’s take a closer look at the show’s stellar cast.
Who is in the cast of The Madison?
The Madison features a stellar cast of recognisable names, led by cinema icons Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell.
Pfeiffer and Russell star as husband-and-wife partnership Stacy and Preston Clyburn, nearly 40 years after they starred together in the 1988 hit film Tequila Sunrise. Pfeiffer is also known for classic films such as Scarface, Batman Returns and Hairspray and portrays Janet Van Dyne aka the Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Meanwhile, Russell has led several cult horror movies by director John Carpenter, including The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China, and has also appeared in the MCU film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. He is currently starring in Apple TV’s Godzilla spin-off series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which recently returned for its second season.
Other familiar faces joining the series include Suits star Patrick J. Adams as Russell McIntosh, the husband of Stacy and Preston’s daughter Paige, portrayed by Elle Chapman. Chapman is a relative newcomer, whose most prominent credit so far has been the Tom Hanks film A Man Called Otto.
