Stephen Graham stars in the gripping new thriller, The Good Boy. And if you’re a fan of this incredibly talented British actor, we’ve picked another great movie you can enjoy at home this weekend.
In 2021, Stephen Graham captivated and stressed audiences with his incredible performance in the one-shot British drama Boiling Point, directed by Philip Barantini. Barantini also directed all four episodes of the popular Netflix series Adolescence.
Shot as if it’s all one unbroken scene and based on a previous short film, the movie stars Graham as Andy Jones, a chef having the worst night of his life at his fancy restaurant, Jones & Sons. While it’s labeled a drama, it’s actually much more tense and gripping than most thrillers.

As a huge Stephen Graham fan, I was so excited to see that Boiling Point is still getting amazing reviews! It has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it his highest-rated film so far. I know Help from 2021 also got a perfect 100%, but that was a longer TV show, not a movie, so Boiling Point really takes the crown!
Man, this movie is intense! I was totally hooked. A critic from The Spectator said the actor, Graham, is just amazing – really honest and raw in his performance. And iNews pointed out it’s basically about one chef having a seriously rough night at a fancy restaurant, and it’s a total nail-biter. Honestly, I couldn’t look away.

You might recognize the name – this film was also adapted into a four-part BBC series, which shared the same title, Boiling Point.

The new series features a return appearance by Graham’s Andy Jones, but this time the story centers on his former sous-chef, Carla (played by Vinette Robinson), and the challenges she faces opening her own restaurant – challenges that prove just as stressful as those Andy experienced. Ray Panthaki, Izuka Hoyle, and Hannah Traylen also return as familiar faces in the show.
All four episodes of Boiling Point, plus the original short film, are currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
