La Cocina
Amidst the lunch rush of a frantic Manhattan restaurant, a series of events threaten to bring the kitchen to a crashing halt.
While food orders flood in and pressure mounts to boiling point, the passionate relationship between chef Pedro (Raúl Briones) and waitress Julia (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara) is starting to fray. But when missing money and shocking revelations cause things to spiral out of control, it’s not long before one of New York’s busiest kitchens is on the verge of imploding.
Featuring an array of outstanding performances led by Briones and Mara, La Cocina is a gripping, exhilarating and truly cinematic new film from acclaimed director Alonso Ruizpalacios.

Great movie
Honestly, this is a very uncomfortable film to watch. However, that didn't make it a bad film. Just like The Bear, it's stressful but engrossing.
Great cinema, but the film was a bit too artsy fartsy for me
I loved the pace and the acting, it kept you engaged at all times and makes you feel part of the kitchen. It touches on a very important topic and makes you reflect. The acting is excellent and the film is well shot.
