This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Great Film overall

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I have watched every season of this show, it is good the way the judges encourage the contestants to push themselves to be more creative.i like the judges on master chef Australia better than master chef US or UK, They seem more enthusiastic compared to the other versions of master chef.the only thing i do not like about the show is when they bring back contestants that have been eliminated it is not fair especially considering when contestants get eliminated it is cause they where not good enough to continue in the competition. that is why i rated the show 5 out of 10 it is a big let down for the existing contestants of the show too. I do hope in future seasons of the show this does not continue.1 point i give other versions of master chef are watchable because when contestants loose and are eliminated they are gone which is what the shows main aim is to eliminate contestants till they get their last 2 contestants, plus their is always a bit of drama, personalities clash, tempers flair.i find the series somewhat rehearsed and scripted especially when it comes to winners of certain seasons, if its aimed as a food show some of the better cooks or contestants don't seem to last i noticed from the first half of the season who were the better cooks which has me wondering if the show is more the usual so called reality tv than an actual competition.I will continue to watch this show with hope they improve the format and how fake most of the show is, contestants do not seem surprised when they loose challenges and are eliminated. even the winners of each season seem to look like they know they have won before the judges have declared who has won.big improvement needed to lose the rehearsed look reality tv yep cooking show not a hope.

I've watched MC Aus since it's 2nd season and have been consistently impressed by it's contestants 'reflection' of the Australian "hail fellow well met" and "good on ya" philosophy... in STARK contrast to the American MC experience of 'hyper-competitiveness' and 'damning with faint praise' The OZ judges are critical YES but not at the expense of compassion and decency ... the US judging is as if the judges want to 'let you know' just how 'sophisticated' their palate is. (although that timbre of the US shows Chef's HAS thankfully mellowed) the reason I'm writing this review is for anyone whose interest may be piqued, or questions if there is a difference ... MOST Definitely there is and I believe it gives you a VERY poignant look at the comparative psyche of American VS Australian and as an American it gives me pause as to whether we Americans couldn't learn a VERY GOOD lesson on how to pull together and care for one another and still be competitive and strive for individuality...Maybe the Aussies are a bit TOO congenial but the backbiting and negativity of the Americans almost makes me feel like Lombardi's quote "that the only good loser is a loser" takes competition to a level that tends to steal away a warmth, civility and admiration for your opponent that endears the Aussie MC with a 'Feel Good' feeling that you don't get from the US version ....maybe the tears sometimes seem more 'crocodile' in OZ but at least they don't sting and feel piteous like they do in the US version.sometimes I want to like the winner AND the loser and not just glory and stomp with the winners.a 'Bit of a rant' I'm sure but if you're at all interested in the philosophical differences between the US and Australia ... this MC cooking show may be more revelatory than you can imagine

I don't really know exactly what it is about this show, but it speaks to me. The best things humans do are a result of cooperative effort and the contestants and judges on this show seem to understand this innately. It's all about the food and making it what should be.Unlike the American version which tries to be "edgy" and confrontational, you can sense a genuine love of food as well as camaraderie in this version. There's not a mean spirit in sight. It's also a joy to watch the cooks mature as the weeks and challenges go by.In short, it has heart, love and soul. If you want combat, watch UFC, if you want a show about the love of food, watch this.

Masterchef is a reality TV show. It is named after a British TV cookery competition.The cast is made up of cooking enthusiasts who take part in a series of cooking challenges and face eliminations.At the end of the season, one person is awarded the main prize.The bulk of the show is devoted to the cast talking to camera about how they felt during the challenges and also to the hosts talking about what they thought of the performances in the challenges. In many of the episodes the hosts taste the food and give feedback or a score. Many parts of the cooking processes are also shown.This show became a huge "watercooler" hit within Australia because of a universal interest in food and because, with the minimal swearing and absence of violence or nudity, this was perfect family viewing. Another appealing aspect was the decision to portray the contestants as co-operative rather than cut-throat as in previous reality TV.The watchability of this show lies in the casting of appealing people; the fact that they seem to be decent makes you care what happens to them and want to return to them. The continual recaps and repetitions of footage in this show mean that it is highly watchable at the busy time of evening that it is shown.
