Be assured...blink and you will miss something!
For anyone who has worked or - indeed - is working in a high-end, busy restaurant...this won't just resonate, it will chime - deafening - like a refurbished Big Ben.
This is a one-take, real-time dining experience you won't forget.
Stephen Graham is under pressure...
[I worked, many years ago, in a Michelin starred restaurant, which will remain nameless. A certain celebrity chef had a meltdown and assaulted a sous chef, his career never really recovered after that...the pressure this chef put himself under was immense, something had to give!]
...something has to give...amid, the workers, the slackers and the customers. Despite everything...painted smiles ensure that the show must and will go on!
Taut, tight, slick and serious...these 90 minutes fly by! Definitely immersive and absolutely riveting as to how Philip Barantini and his crew pulled it off so spectacularly.
Baftas are lining up!
