I had a bit of time spare and one movie that peaked my interest was boiling point. its a 90mins long British drama about top chef Andy Jones, evening service of hell. Andy is already under immense pressure in his personal life before he walks through the door and things just go down hill from there. First health inspector demotes his 5 star hygiene to 3 stars, not enough food is ordered and staff are missing/late etc.
The movie is filmed as if its in one take as we not only get a glimpse of Andy but also the other staff members who are all under pressure and dealing with their own problems. Despite how normal it looks/feels its does get tense as the pressure slowly increases throughout the evening when horrible diners arrive. You get a sense that its all going to boil over or end in some sort of cataclysmic fashion that would verge towards dark humor territory like in say, the office.
But i enjoyed watching it. it wasn't that long and i was glued just waiting for it to all go horribly wrong in some farcical finale or something. top performance's from the cast as it felt natural and really believable. Whilst there is some serious situations and the situation does boil over, its more a simmering pot boiling over and some critics might argue the ending is a bit weak, as it sort of ends in a low key way, like an end of an episode of a drama or something.
Would i recommend it? i would certainly give it a thumbs up. I would certainly recommend you watched it especially now that the Boiling point series is being shown on bbc now. most of the main members of cast return to continue the drama. Will probably watch that soon.
