Boiling Point.

Having watched this would I eat at a restaurant again? Well, yes, but... If I had a potentially lethal allergy I'm not sure that I would.

When I read that this film was a single take (according to some sources there may be minor edits, I don't think that's true) I wasn't that keen to see it, although interested in what it would be like. We watched this almost by mistake as the films that we had chosen weren't available or were expensive (this is free on Netflix). It was filmed in two days with four completed takes, of which the third is the one we see. The concept was originally developed as a short, 22 minute, film in 2019.

The one take method works superbly for this story, the film is so absorbing you forget about how it is filmed. It is not a jolly tale to be sure but it is very well written, performed and directed and the characters are engaging and the world it portrays appears authentic. A nice conflict exists between the affluent diners and the, on the whole, less monied staff. Well worth watching.
