Bob The Badger Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Boiling Point on Netflix I'm not sure I have ever seen Stephen Graham play a part where he's not a moody scouser. But then again he does moody Scousers so well, I'm not sure I want to. Set in a top London restaurant with Graham as head chef and shot in one take (on apparently the 3rd go) it's intense, fascinating, chaotic, very well acted by everybody and increasingly dark. My first ever job was a trainee chef and I spent a lot of time working in my sisters restaurant a few years later and everything about this was bang on from the terminology to the different characters to dick customers. Half way through I'd have given it a respectable Simon Coleman, but it raised its game to a Dean Yates by the end. Well worth checking ot, especially if you like Graham.

Carl Sagan Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Everything Everywhere all At Once Lots of hype about this. Very clever in many ways, and fun, but I don't like the silliness that surrounds some high-concept independent movies. Like Sorry to Bother You which was brilliant but, maybe because of budget, couldn't quite deliver. And it felt the same here. This is clever and fun scifi with a good heart, and very innovative and well done, and I'd encourage people to watch it as it was different. Maybe a Francesco Baiano/10 when I was hoping for Roberto Baggio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Uncharted kid who makes loads of annoying noises in Spiderman, does the same in this. Pointless film based in a computer game. Literally forgettable within ten minutes of watching. Paul Connolly/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
