Ratatouille, but make it scouse, with a dash of Gordon Ramsay and the fury of the Safdies.
Boiling Point is a magnificent film. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for all of my working life, which has been all of 5 years (so long I know!), working as both a waiter for some of that and a chef for the rest has been stressful to say the least. Nothing captures that sense of stress like Boiling Point does. It exudes stress from every fibre of its being.

The tension, the anxiety level surrounding the film is at an all-time high, and as the story progresses, everything continues to build to a great climax with repercussions that pay off. The performances feel so organic, really how natural it all felt, further along with the one take on the whole…
Thought I would relax after a hard day and watch Boiling Point......
Several panic attacks later and I can confirm Stephen Graham is the best actor working today. Everyone is at the top of their game here barely getting time to breathe from scene to scene in this gripping single shot masterpiece.
