One of the most stressful movies of the decade is on TV tonight

The film merges the style of Netflix's Adolescence with the setting from The Bear.

All shot in one long take, the film focuses on Andy Jones (a typically brilliant Stephen Graham, Netflix's Adolescence), the head chef at one of London's hottest restaurants.

That said, on the busiest night of the year for his establishment, multiple personal and professional crises threaten to destroy everything the chef has worked for.

The story follows Andy and his staff (including his sous-chef, played by an excellent Vinette Robinson). This is as the head chef alternates between berating and cajoling his employees, "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, with whom Graham would later collaborate again on the Netflix smash-hit miniseries Adolescence, which also employed a one-shot approach.

Thanks to the kitchen drama's intense performances, its tense plot that really puts Andy through the wringer, and its direction that traps the audience with the head chef and his staff, JOE previously dubbed the movie "the most stressful film" of 2022, the year it was released in Ireland.

Boiling Point was so well-received, in fact, that it also got a follow-up four-part series on the BBC, which saw Barantini, Graham and Robinson returning.

The original movie is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 11.05pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.

The Boiling Point TV show, meanwhile, is currently streaming on the RTÉ Player.
