Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
7.6/10渐入佳境，前半段多少有点迷惑，但是慢慢的你会发现影片越来越有嚼头，滋味越来越浓，这是我很喜欢的一点，没有太多的起伏，但是慢慢的感染你，让你静下心来去听这个故事。很喜欢影片悬疑点的设定，很高级也很抓人，会牢牢抓住观众的心，再同主角慢慢揭开面纱，影片最后我想终究是导演不忍心了，也感慨好在是这样的一个结局。贾静雯好美啊！
呃。思觉失调之后就变得拖沓无聊了。即便一条蛇和瀑布都具像化地出现了，依然无聊。
母亲的精神异化留有一定暗示，可又让人觉得铺垫不是很够，这部分我总觉得怪怪的，接近惊悚又差点儿意思，但最后的转折倒有些《阳光普照》那个感觉了。还有刘冠廷，怎么哪哪都看到你哦。
女主的精神病人角色设定有种走“得奖捷径”的感觉，反而是王净的女儿角色，人物弧光和成长都更完满。
女主之间的化学反应很好，不看不了解贾静雯这么能打。魏如萱……以后请坚守唱歌的本业。陈以文太牛了（大骂“会不会倒车”“考没考过驾照”的时候笑死我了）。有点老套的主线里绽放了很多文本美学，比如借精神病来反诘（中介、蛇、瀑布/洪水），比如瀑布象征的压倒性的压力、执念。正因为主线就是正常发挥，所以疫情并没有过多干预叙事，而是扮演着必要的最后一根稻草。比起《阳光普照》更喜欢这个。
瀑布破坏力再强，终归会沿着生活的河床化为涓涓细流
开头非常惊喜，疫情的因素在剧情中穿插地非常有意思，直观地推动着剧情的发展，但是后面就开始混乱了，最终也变成了一部和其他台湾省电影别无二致的小确幸题材影片。
疫情之下，一对原本算中产的母女困境。疫情加剧了焦虑，工作也可能朝不保夕，内忧外患，很容易就击垮一个原本独立的中年女性。
8.5/10.
这次生病，反而促进了母女之间的感情，取缔了隔阂。这一场瀑布洗刷了我们的偏执。
好喜欢背景音乐，魏如萱贡献了安静又迷人的一场戏。但故事的文本实在太弱了，基本都是依靠情绪在推进故事，然后在情绪最高点时呼应「瀑布」的主题，整体像是一个短篇小说。 瀑布的意思是「理不清的愁绪，时常轰隆隆地在心头炸裂开来，急流而下，却不知道落水要流向何处，堆积成了解不开的心结」。 不要再问我「你还好吗」？ 我会想办法好起来，好好地和你一起过下去。
概念还是挺好的，疫情背景下的精神问题+符号+母女关系，但概念突出就是很容易单调和失去合理性；两位女主的戏但缺少女性视角真的还是有点别扭，虽然这也不是什么罪大恶极，而且导演一如既往的匠气也可以让我愉快地看下去，但是人物魅力就消散了，甚至合理性也欠缺，虽然表演还不错的。
瀑布轰鸣，不期而至，大到影响全球的时代洪流，小到思觉失调的个人脑海，唯有将接受与理解视为新的信念。明显“仁慈”太多的钟孟宏，为防疫时代的无望生活注入了太多圆满，即便以悬疑恐怖质感时刻渲染的蓝色绝望，令一切都像是思觉失调者臆想的空欢喜。
已经习惯钟导的节奏了，看得十分亲切。电影最后女儿幸免于难，其实与导演听说的那个故事结局不同，《好莱坞往事》式的温柔。现在6.4，看看得奖后会不会升。
蛮通感的，瀑布直泻后的吞噬感，考验着这对母女。然而故事主线太苍白，配不上这做工，影片整体的定位，导演也刻意地打了个现实主义擦边球，否则都说不通。贾静雯真是越老越吃香。
2.和疫情并没有特别大的联系。
相较《阳光普照》无疑是有点太过柔和，《瀑布》没有那么优秀，但相较内地的后疫情时代电影又极为丰富且真实，喜欢看台湾电影，最重要的原因是，它有我们一直缺少的对于家庭情感的关注，和对于都市人群内心的关照，冰冷的现实以及背后一点点温暖。
单亲家庭、中年危机、衰败中产，这些元素以贾静雯的思觉失调贯穿构建起来，整体偏向于电视电影的质感。而疫情这个时代外壳，没有发挥出很好的作用。贾静雯的确非常适合饰演成熟职场女性这类角色，例如《我们与恶的距离》里宋乔安。
故弄玄虚，有病和没病的都在呻吟。凄凄惨惨的“瀑布”有气无力。比《阳光普照》无厘头，是那种无趣的无厘头。本该是个很好的疫情题材，却搞成神经病的唠唠叨叨。就这还敢拿《电车狂》做提示，把钟孟宏捧得越来越烂，离黑泽明越来越远，挺好！2
整体的电影色调是那种很舒服的明亮感，画面很通透，人物打光很足，故事是传统讲述和细腻表达，不过整个框架太平缓，没有太多的冲突，总觉得少了些强烈的主题，延续富有特色的清幽配乐，贾静雯和王静演技可以的（里面口罩大小不合适，总是不贴合面部；台湾的房产中介这么良心的吗，让人直呼666。）
