Boiling Point (2021 Philip Barantini & co-scr)

The full-length version has pressure coming at chef Stephen Graham from all sides - an investor wants his money back, there's a food critic in, he inadvertently poisons a guest, is failing as a father and on environmental standards, and is a drug addict. What larks!

Single take is rather grimly photographed by Matthew Lewis, though you have to give it to him for operating that camera rather skilfully over an hour and a half; also to the First AD Jamie Hetherington.

Vinette Robinson sadly can't quite handle her key moments; with Alice Feetham (front of house), Hannah Walters (pastry chef; Mrs. Graham), Malachi Kirby (Roots), Izuka Hoyle, Taz Skyler, Lauryn Ajufo, Jason Flemyng, Ray Panthaki. Well done, guys! Best moment is when Walters notices her assistant has been self-harming - an emotional moment.
