Restaurant kitchens are a pressurized stew of brutal hours, high stress and sleep deprivation. Acting out goes with the territory and anyone lower on the totem pole is fair game. But the familiar macho posturing of celebrity chefs has reached a tipping point. Now with an influx of women at the helm of restaurants, and a younger generation unwilling to submit to the brutal conditions once considered the norm, the rules of "kitchen culture" as we know are being rewritten. The Heat takes viewers behind-the-scenes to meet pioneers who broke through the glass ceiling, including Michelin-starred chefs Anne Sophie Pic (a.k.a. the "Queen of French Cuisine") of Maison Pic in Valence, France; beloved UK star Angela Hartnett (and Gordon Ramsay's former protégé) of Murano; and award-winning New York chef Anita Lo (who closes her iconic New York restaurant Annisa after 17 years).

The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution is a powerful and inspiring documentary that sheds light on the challenges faced by women in the culinary world. The stories of these talented chefs were both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and the film does an excellent job of highlighting the systemic issues that need to be addressed.

"The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution" was disappointing. The film's focus on the challenges faced by women chefs is important, but it ultimately feels repetitive and predictable. I was hoping for a more nuanced exploration of the subject matter.
