#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Boiling Point' (2021)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(1hr 34mins, UK)

📣Portrait of a Kitchen on Fire: A head chef tries to escape being cursed by an escalating crisis over an ill-fated evening.

👍Culinary heaven:
A film worth it's weight in Oscars, this stunning study of a spiralling madness should carry a health warning, as your heart will be under repeated stress throughout.
An exceptional cast of at least 15(!), with my personal favourites being Stephen Graham, Vinette Robinson, Ray Panthaki and Hannah Walters.

👎Table 7:
Some plot threads aren't as resolved as much as I would have liked.
And real-life food safety officers may disagree with how they're depicted.
But this is a cinematic dégustation that will leave you overwhelmed, overawed, and craving for a rebooking. Bon appétit!

🥇Best quote:
"You know, reviewing is... is like sex.
You go by what's there,
Not by what's not there."

💼Best business advice:
"Do you know how much pressure we're under?
Maybe if you spent half as much time learning how to run a restaurant,
instead of whoring your arse on social media like a budget Kardashian,
then we wouldn't be so much in the s??t that we are now."

💉Best vaccine quote:
"We just need to do it together.
Just do a big breath.
Let's do it together."
