    This is a masterpiece in my eyes. Every time I watch this film, I immediately get inspired and my love of filmmaking instantly comes back to me. I love everything about this film, from the characters, dialogue, incredible soundtrack, beautiful cinematography and the suspenseful direction from M Night Shyamalan. You can really feel the care and passion all throughout the runtime and this is a go to example for me on what you can do with a low budget. Easily in my top 5, if not my favourite film of all time for me and one of the most underrated films of all time.

    This is the exact film I needed right now. A remarkable, captivating story that filled me with so many emotions and Steven Spielberg caused me to cry multiple times. Everyone gives fantastic performances, particularly Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy who I wish was nominated for an Oscar because he truly deserves it. Michelle Williams and Paul Dano also do an excellent job showing the family dynamic and feeling sympathetic towards them.

    The cinematography on display is gorgeous as I thought it…

    This film gave me second-hand embarrassment. The first 15 minutes are hilarious but after that wow this film goes downhill. I don't understand why after the first film, Mort and Maurice are barely in it :(

    I'm a huge fan of Boiling Point, it's one of my favourite films, and I've never actually seen the original short until now. I love that Barantini took this concept and turned it into a feature film, his one take style just elevates an already great narrative into something greater.
