Boiling Point (I) (2021)
8/10
Anxiety
8 March 2022
Why is the world not talking more about this? What a fantastic film. Sometimes reminded me of Mass (raw acting as credible as if we were seeing real people). Sometimes reminded me of Uncut Gems and Shiva Baby (anxiety inducing, small spaces, chaos, dealing with stupid people, screaming inside).

I'm a fan of how Philip Barantini directed this, this single-shot approach is perfect for this kind of fast paced happening in real time films and it helps to create the anxiety it wants to create. You are there. You are part of the team. In terms of acting, all are on a great level, but let me take a moment for Stephen Graham and Vinette Robinson: both absolutely perfect, flawless! There are great scenes that will stay with me - some not including neither of these two characters - and I'm really curious to see what this director can bring us next.
