Boiling Point (I) (2021)
8/10
STEPHEN FRICKIN GRAHAM.
22 January 2024
Believable, gripping and intense piece of cinema. Its use of an engaging subplot, a single location and its cinematography, combined with the stellar performances, naturalistic dialogue and tight story makes for one of the most engrossing experiences I've had in a while. Stephen Graham was unreal his facial expression and just pulsating anxiety and tension without even speaking.

Synopsis: On the busiest night of the year at one of the hottest restaurants in London, charismatic, commanding head chef Andy Jones (Stephen Graham) balances along a knife's edge as multiple personal and professional crises threaten to destroy everything he's worked for. A surprise visit from a health and safety inspector sets the staff on edge as the overbooked hotspot begins to fill with guests. Jones alternately berates and cajoles his diverse staff, trying his best to diffuse tensions between management and his crew, while catering to the ridiculous demands of customers.
