Our TV movie pick for tonight (Wednesday, 9 September) is Boiling Point, the 2021 British thriller drama with a whopping 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
As problems pile up, Andy alternates between berating and cajoling his employees (including his sous-chef, played by an excellent Vinette Robinson), "trying his best to diffuse tensions between management and his crew, while catering to the ridiculous demands of customers".
Boiling Point was directed by Philip Barantini. Graham would collaborate with the filmmaker again on the Netflix smash-hit miniseries Adolescence, which also employed a one-shot approach.
Their kitchen drama boasts authentic performances, an increasingly tense plot that really puts Andy through the wringer, and immersive direction that traps the audience with the head chef and his staff.
These qualities led JOE to dub the movie "the most stressful film" of 2022, the year it was released in Ireland.
Boiling Point was so well-received that it also got a four-part follow-up series on the BBC, which saw Barantini, Graham and Robinson return.
The original movie is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 11.20pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
