Fun fact about this movie. It was all filmed in one long take, like stage acting, but just with cameras. People only taking breaks when the camera pans away from them, hence you see a couple little mistakes, but in the context of a fast paced kitchen the mistakes just feel like general fluster'ness. They had intended to film the whole thing 5 times and take the best one for the movie, but due to lockdown/covid they only managed 3 takes and took the third take for the movie. But yeah, it gives some perspective about shots like following someone all the way outside to take out the trash, smoke, talk in the car and walk back in. I imagine everyone inside taking a quick breather and preparing

as others have said - Stephen is an astounding actor

This guy is a great actor. I recently saw him in a film with Jodie Comer called "Help" and they both gave impressive performances. He was also on a season of the show "Line of Duty," which is one of the best cops/crime shows out there.

Stephen Graham is a phenomenal actor and this film is an absolute tour-de-force. Glad you picked it and please continue to pick films that actually interest you. It will set you apart from other reactors. Could I recommend Before Sunrise at some point? Thank you.

Yes, Chrissie: it was all one take with no cheats or tricks. Incredible achievement.

Loved watching this reaction. Can't wait for Dead Man's Shoes reaction.as well. Another great film and performances. Subscribed 👍👍

This has been turned into a series. Ignoring the hospitality side, it's a good reminder for everyone you don't know what others are going through in their personal lives, easy to forget.

My girlfriend's brother was a chef at some fine dining restaurants, with his main love being in working as a pastry chef. Eventually he worked up to being head chef. I can attest to his food being absolutely outstanding. However the job took a massive toll on him. With all that talent he has for making amazing food, he's now a fork lift driver at a warehouse. I know another French fine dining chef who left that stress to become a taxi driver.

I used to be a chef. I don't miss much about it. The stress...constant stress...you're at a level when you start and it goes up and up till service, then you're ramped...hyper-focused and also aware of everything at the same time....then you drop a bit after service, but it doesn't stop...you're prepping...then service again. Add in the manager/head chef barking at you...complaints from idiot customers because some minor thing is not how they like it. I got a rush out of it to start, but that dwindled. The creative element was interesting, but unless you're a sous or head chef, you rarely get listened to in terms of dish creation. So many chefs are alcoholics, or speed/coke freaks in order to cope. Then there's the physical toll, on your feet for long shifts, bent over, in the heat.

Need to watch The Virtues

This is a total masterpiece of a film. The single take is just so good. There’s a follow up TV series as well that carries on the story, not done in the single take style but it’s very good

This film sent my stress levels through the roof. It made me feel like I was there.

I saw your video popping up yesterday, but I never saw this movie, so I had to watch it first. I loved it, and as usual Stephen Graham is fantastic (one of my favorite actors of his generation), with some imo very emotional scenes (caught myself wiping tears), so now I'm gonna watch your reaction lol.

As someone who worked in the catering industry this is scarily accurate. There is so much pressure and stress at times. I never wish to go back to it.

@@chrissiereacts I started in prep then moved to commis chef and then sous chef. It was ten years ago but i still remember it vividly. I even get stressed watching Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmare's on tv lol.

It was shitty work at times, but the crew you work with become almost like family.

Another great one shot take movie is a German film called Victoria. It feels more restricted to being a one shot film than Boiling Point but it takes place across a city rather than in one location. Insane to think about the logistics of how they made it work.

I suspect all viewers are not here just for the films.

Before this feature film there was a mini series shot in the same style (one shot, one take) that hits much harder in terms of chef's descent into alcoholism as his personal life falls apart. It's pretty harrowing in parts but well worth a watch.

Having worked (not very well) in the hospitality industry and for the most part: alongside (but not in) the kitchen as a waiter, this was very relatable and I hate to use the term (but it was) "triggering" movie for me. I found it to be one of the most negative and depressing times of my life and the hospitality lifestyle was central to that. I have a lot of respect for anyone that works in the industry. It's definitely a high pressure industry and it's no wonder chefs have often occupied the top entries in suicide lists. Excellent movie. I really "enjoyed" this reaction video.

I hung out with Three 6 Mafia for almost a week partially in Arkansas and partially in Memphis Tennessee. Come to find out that most of them are just really cool people. Cypress Hill was my favorite group to hang out with. They just wanted to go home. They were playing at the River market in downtown Little Rock Arkansas on mother's Day and they all missed their mama 😞 I'm not sure how it is in your part of the world but since cannabis isn't legal here the concert promoters are able to get around that by hiring private security which is actually either off duty or retired police officers to control everything that happens inside the venue. The police are not allowed inside the building except for an emergency situation. Therefore enforcement of the law is at the discretion of the quote, unquote hired security! The coolest celebrity person I ever met in my life was Sherman hemsley... Also known as George Jefferson 😁 I was hired to be his personal security guard and chauffeur while he spoke to a predominantly black college here in Little Rock Arkansas the Flanders Smith University. Coolest man I ever met in my life. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. ❤️

Not really sure that it matters much but....... did anyone else notice the bald guy @08:00 he has half a missing middle finger on his right hand 😳 since I lost one of my digits I really pick up on things like that 😳 sorry!

High end hospitality is in a state of crisis now. It has always been a very demanding job, this being a very realistic portrayal of a restaurant. Cultural changes mean that young people will just not stand to be spoken to like that in the workspace, in some countries it is actually illegal to do so. The hours are long and unsociable, the pay is terrible(UK and Australia experience)and really most of the roles are dead end jobs. I think in general it just makes a person feel grateful for getting out of the industry.

This is a great flick. Need something light-hearted soon though.

I haven't set foot in a restaurant in over 20 years now. Not so much because of bad food or bad service, but mostly because of the contrived snobbery and posturing by restaurant patrons, some of whom are even related to me! The fine dining experience seems to turn some people into absolute ogres, especially in the way they treat wait staff. I get more enjoyment out of a meat pie and a beer while watching a game of Rugby League!

Did you spot Stephen Graham wife

Hated chef work. Everyone I know that's done it has hated it, it's a horrible job and rarely worth the money. Coke's not a "workplace drug" but, goes "well" with chef-ing. Surprisingly murky profession. Graham (as ever) plays the part stunningly believeably. He scares the crap out of me playing scary parts, he makes me feel his pain. By all accounts/rumours - Graham's a really nice guy in person and pretty much a dedicated family man. Anyway - for THE continuous shot, look up Russian Ark by Aleksandr Sokurov, it's definitely one of the must see at least once in a lifetime films. Also - Bad Boy Bubby ;)
