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.
文化冲突，家庭冲突，错位的爱意。爱和恨是一体两面。
故事和立意都太陈旧了。美国梦的破碎杨德昌1985年的《青梅竹马》就已经说尽了。凑疫情也十分牵强，没带来什么思考。
全员演技在线，林嘉欣的哀愁也很美；当代台湾家庭故事，但对身份文化认同的探讨很遗憾没有更深入；典型东亚家庭，压抑的母亲，宠溺女儿的父亲，暴力冲突那场戏也相当真实；冲突化解得有些潦草。
不过也可以理解大多数人无法代入这个电影，毕竟这种复杂的经历很少人会有。就一个影视作品而已，这部片也是少见的压抑，基本就是全程下坡，到最后才稍微上抬一下。
里面描写的20年前台湾学校教育和家庭教育的氛围，像极了现在中国大陆的样子，老师体罚学生，家长打骂小孩，成绩差的学生受排挤，言语霸凌的严重性被忽视。
导演在尝试“临摹”好片，但选材难度过高，有点毛嫩了，不过还是很有潜力的，我挺好奇她年龄，我认识一人跟她同学，所以大概30岁左右？另外全片夜晚室内戏不开大灯……我知道这是为了氛围，但完全没道理啊
親子矛盾/身份認同/成長陣痛… 在2003Sars的背景下，社會的不安映照著這四口之家的焦慮… 每個人都有自己承受的壓力，爸爸宗輝肩負全家經濟來源又要照顧妻女… 媽媽莉莉忍受化療病痛…妹妹芳安也活在巨大的不安全感中… 劇情主要從大女兒芳儀視角切入，離開美國的好友和白馬，回到新店，剪短髪/被體罰/資優生變成全班最後一名…這一切，都是因為媽媽罹癌造成的?… 文化和生活的不適應只是表層，類似爸爸對芳儀說的''如果一直逃避，去哪都不會變…'' 芳儀渴望獨立又恐懼與媽媽分離的矛盾心境，青春期的混亂與衝撞，全世界都不懂自己的孤獨感… 一個原本很容易拍得窠臼的故事，編導通過細膩的情感經營，讓觀眾可以共情每個角色，全片充滿著淚點和時代'回憶殺'… 母女情 拍的比[瀑布]要戳心😭… (2021TGHFF)
家不是总围绕着爱展开，爱与恨是一体两面的存在，时恨时爱。导演的细腻深入家里的每一处，妈妈的悲观脆弱把家庭搅成一锅乱粥，在移民的文化背景下大女儿的水土不服再添加一把火，生活不断下坠，下坠的过程让彼此才能联结的更深。
本片中心思想：不要生小孩,小孩会带来不幸。
可以说十分的细腻了，不煽情的情况下把家庭成员之间的情感关系描绘的这么有看头，有矛盾有对立，也是彼此相爱的
和《瀑布》讲实话不太一样，这片子是个单纯的家庭题材。主打怀旧牌（润美国、音乐、拨号上网、体罚、非典）的同时，电影在家庭争吵的细节上做的还不错，后半段的核心悬疑（到底阳性不阳性）设置的也是及格的。主要差在电影感的东西极少，另外要论家长里短的争吵，老一辈大陆电视剧拍的也很多，相比之下这部电影完全没有特别的地方…可看可不看吧。
“害怕她的恐惧变成我的恐惧，她的软弱变成我的软弱”，老师说爱和恨是一体两面，那篇演讲稿后来是怎样写的呢。成年人视角看成长困境其实都知道是怎么一回事，但它们永远值得被展示被看到。
倒也不是电影不好，演的挺好的，小女儿比较可爱，但是好累啊，每天生活本来就是这样了，看电影还要看这样的电影。。
情绪很重也很实，不知不觉就进入到这个家庭里了
从前我们以为，父母若是不能满足我们的要求，那他们就是不爱我们。于是便一边肆意说着伤人的话、做着伤人的事，一边埋怨“明明是他们不够爱我”。在对其他一切挫折都饱含忍耐力和宽容背后，却唯独觉得“爱”是非黑即白的完美主义。
看哭好几次。深爱对方但是却不能好好沟通的家庭何其相似。很喜欢结尾。
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。
最喜欢的一段剪辑是从splash的马蹄铁切换到离家出走公车上的吊环把手。她爱马的自由，却未曾想过马也爱自由，每个人其实都是一样的孤独和自私。
故事在完整看下来还是不错，特别是有几场戏十分感染人，爸爸妈妈和大女儿争吵冲突是戏肉！演员的表演比故事的呈现要好很多，会是看演员演绎看爽的作品。
可以说十分的细腻了，不煽情的情况下把家庭成员之间的情感关系描绘的这么有看头，有矛盾有对立，也是彼此相爱的
