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.
最难拍的体育题材+传记类型，在这样一部时时刻刻触发观众泪水的“小”制作里真正闪出星光。苏桦伟起跑不强的劣势，与他人生后起直追的信条共振出绝妙的戏剧精神骨架。主角三阶段的“群像”表演超神，爱吴君如真的说倦了。
无台词电影，感觉摄影很棒。探索，是一少部分人的事情，这种风格显然与观众不友好，观影中座位左右基本是低头看手机了。7分。
爸爸隐形人，弟弟工具人（心疼）。梁仲恒演得很不错。
创意很有趣 有意向有深入 可惜没在最好的厅观看
不是「媽媽的神奇小子」，也不是「神奇小子的媽媽」，而是「小子的神奇媽媽」，孩子的意願並不重要，爸爸依舊總是缺席，媽媽做錯了也是一切為了孩子好，近乎綁架的「世上只有媽媽好」，透露著一股強烈的「沒有XXX就沒有XXX」的單向因果，孩子的自身努力被抹殺，其他人的犧牲與幫助也被無視，真實的故事也許並不如此，只是電影本身實在令人失望。
大自然和放牧人最原始的声音，是风，是云，是水滴，是口哨，是呼唤。科学和死亡，人一生可能都无法穷尽的伟大命题。
17/8/2021 @ CC Victoria。在今年奧運年看關於香港運動員的電影確是特別有感覺。故事著墨在香港運動員的現實困境而不是單純賣慘/雞湯值得一贊，雖然劇本仍有砂石(Locker的弟弟和鍾雪瑩的方Sir妹妹兩個角色的作用完全就是工具人)，另外三姑並未有因為同時擔任監製而刻意把戲份放在蘇媽上也是值得加許的。其實中段少年版蘇樺偉的故事比較感動，後段成年版雖然拍出了運動員面對經濟負擔和前途問題，但又開始跌入拋出大量金句的煽情手法令感動位不夠自然。
剧本很工整，节奏也很好，很励志，很感人，哭了好几次……而且提出了同工不同酬以及残奥冠军背后的辛酸，真心很不错，好看！

1、【On Your Mark（望着妈妈）】
大概是类似的事情发生在朋友身上过，感触更深。但是相似的孩子没有出现在世界上。如果当初朋友做了不一样的选择，这部电影就可能是她的生活。痛苦和快乐总是相伴的，无论如何选择，人总是要活下去，痛苦的生活也是会开出花来的。我想大家不必强调这是母亲还是父亲，我们都是人，不论是亲情还是友情爱情，都是人与人的关系而已，善良坚韧的灵魂不分男女，种族，国别，从电影里汲取营养去照亮现实，难道不好吗。
看完好電影讓人心曠神怡。溫情勵志的基礎題材已用精簡的筆墨完成，點到為止，不加贅述，可對標今年夏天同殘運題材《了不起的老爸》。而香港電影傳統和兩年精細的劇本打磨又讓這部影片比同類型作品更勝一籌，即直擊揭露運動員群體矛盾的生存境況。瞬間的絢爛，長久的遺忘，健全的奧運冠軍尚且搓澡買牌，更何況本身就面臨極大壓力的殘障人群。電影在現實取材方面做足了功夫，給予個體、家庭、差異群體以極大尊重。吳君如等幾位香港老戲骨的演技無可挑剔，更誇爆新人演員梁仲恒，角色傳神入木三分。9.4
蛮扎实的，情感铺垫的很足，细节呈现到位，更多笔墨还是放在了母子关系，以及几个重要时间节点的比赛上，对于残疾人的生存困境有点点到为止，但整体还是很动人的，吴君如和梁仲恒表演都不错，金像奖提名有望。能够关注到残奥会真的很难得，最后的那个还原画面确实又燃又有泪点，类型化做得还可以，四平八稳，不过个别地方有点滥用配乐了。
魅力主要還是真實故事。亞特蘭大拍得很好，中段拍得還行，最後部分完全失控，沈悶至極。3.5星。
三星半，港式煽情太多了。少年和青年苏桦玮演的太好了
21年北影节 美丽的风光 为探险家的精神所折服
5，九几年那几场也是普通话转播，有点违和，做成英语会正常很多。
赢再多奖牌也没能改变生活落寞的局面，努再多的力也无人知晓。
从主角到配角，演员们的表现都很好。苏桦伟的前后两个扮演者很棒，可以说整个片子里没有谁的演技拉垮，必须多给一星。
