Leave your thoughts about Boiling Point.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe nimble, naturalistic performers are uniformly terrific. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeThe result is a spicy nerve-jangler served with a chargrilled side order of jet-black gallows humour – a divine comedy barrelling towards inevitable tragedy, played out in hell’s kitchen where someone is bound to get burned. |
| Little White LiesJack KingFormally, the film seldom takes its foot off the gas. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievThis is one intensely-flavored meal that begs to be swallowed in a single bite. Compliments to the chef. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThere’s a barreling momentum to the filmmaking that feels true to the cut and thrust of restaurant life, regardless of the script’s digressions. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthBoiling Point is a temperature-raising restaurant drama whose heightening series of personal and professional stakes will immediately plunge you into a flop sweat. |
| The IndependentClarisse LoughreyThe film is always on the move, and yet somehow oppressively claustrophobic, as the tension gradually builds to the point of no return suggested by its title. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyBoiling Point grips remorselessly while it’s spinning all these plates, and somehow ladles onto them a smorgasbord of great, frazzled acting from all concerned. |
| The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeTaking place in an upmarket east London restaurant on a busy night during the Christmas season, the film gives a real sense of the frantic stress that underlies such operations. The lack of cuts presses home the real-time scenario and allows no escape from the hurtling momentum. |
| EmpireNick de SemlyenA fast-paced and hectic kitchen thriller that, though it tries to spin a few too many plates, pulls you deep into a fascinating, detailed world most of us know little about. |
