Rated Burnt 7/10

Seems like the template used for creating "The Bear" which is not a bad thing. Adam fits the archetype of the "so focused on his job, he's self-destructive".  Makes sense. I doubt the average high-end chef is well-rounded. Helene is practically a manic pixie dream girl since she is exactly what Adam needed in a coworker/love interest. Her character is underwritten and only serves Adam, despite showing her daughter a couple times.  A good lesson was learned although it was too vague. Essentially Adam needs people around him to share his pain, interests, and goals. The movie mostly implies this point which leaves the movie a bit flat. Still dug it and would recommend.
