Brilliant Stephen Graham thriller finds new home on streaming

The thriller was filmed in a way that recalls Netflix's Adolescence.

As problems pile up, Andy alternates between berating and cajoling his employees (including his sous-chef, played by an excellent Vinette Robinson). This is as he tries his best to "diffuse tensions between management and his crew, while catering to the ridiculous demands of customers".

Directed by Philip Barantini (Accused, Villain), 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, claustrophobic 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 and the UK.

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.
