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.
情绪的爆发和关系的转变都好生硬，尤其没懂女儿怎么从逃避到接受。
电影中展现的冲突很多。从直接的电影名字来看，两个文化之间的冲突，再到整个家庭成员彼此之间的矛盾，还有传统疾病癌症与最近的新冠肺炎。但是影片想表达的太多，反而在文化冲突方面并没有讲述的很清楚，流于很碎的表面展现。
4.5，母女的故事，也是家庭的故事。那些細膩複雜情感中映照出的"普遍"，大家多少都能從其中看見自己的吧。是阿，媽媽不夠好女兒也不夠好，自己生活亦過的不好，知道該和睦相處的道理，卻老是爭執不斷，做了又後悔，可是總是愛著對方的...林嘉欣和方郁婷演的極為精彩。年僅15歲的方郁婷是第一次演戲，但令人驚豔極了。初生之犢不畏虎，作為故事的中心人物，有著完全不亞於林嘉欣的演出。她逃家後去找馬那段戲，看的我淚流滿面...
影片呈现的家庭关系与情感与本人的现实生活有好些相似性 与瀑布相比似乎更加现实更能击中人心
她把女儿带到了美国，却要责怪她拥有了美国人的思维，真是可笑
7分，爸爸和妈妈是来自不同星球的人这点抓得很好，林嘉欣和小演员们的表演很喜欢
作为一个母亲，很难不被触动。电影语言本身略稚嫩，但情感细腻。梁芳仪和同学抱怨，觉得妈妈可以做得更好，同学回答：万一她已经做到她的最好了呢？可能永远不存在真正的感同身受。
同样是刻画母女关系，这部好过《瀑布》。母女二人演得都极好。预定2022年观影最佳之一。
拙劣地模仿，刻意地制造，如今的台湾电影已经沦落到看不见任何有深度的东西，而不生孩子终归是解决所有问题的唯一办法。
一个富有感染力的故事也有赖于一帮全情投入的真挚诚恳的演员们的集体努力才让观众产生深深的代入感，也悄然引领着观众去反思去理解亦或者去重振生活。
点开拖进度条看了两眼，受不了：1.林嘉欣气若游丝躺在病床上问老公要不要买房（what？你们没买房就生了2个小孩？）；2.老公给小孩煮饭，小孩嫌难吃，老公生气——真的是烦死这种无能爹了，2022年了ball ball各位导演不要再描述男的的无能了，非要写的话请把他们统统写死
这几年一些港台片有一种很相似的大光圈气质…
这一代应该刚好是侯孝贤镜头下天天说去美国的那代人，以及他们的孩子。很多跨文化或者说移二代的文化冲突细节，就好像在开上帝视角看一家人过日子。然而总觉得少了点什么。
片尾曲是陈绮贞的《尽在不言中》。
妈妈，你可不可以不要死。（情绪过渡有些硬，一直在等的那个演讲也没来
最难得的是导演的真诚，勇敢面对当时自己对母亲的残忍和逃避，并且细致耐心地梳理出来呈现给观众，但整体看完还是觉得少了一点什么，剧本有点单薄？
一个富有感染力的故事也有赖于一帮全情投入的真挚诚恳的演员们的集体努力才让观众产生深深的代入感，也悄然引领着观众去反思去理解亦或者去重振生活。
家庭矛盾，年龄代购，文化差异，这些是台湾电影里最常见的主题，电影只点到为止，并未展开，缺少一针见血直击要害的点。
4.5吧。我还是想看演讲报告如果有的话。这么处理也不错。 眼浅。
在疫情下看非典感觉挺奇妙的。与其叫美国女孩，不如叫颠沛流离的父母们。觉得爸爸演的更好。
