Perhaps the most revealing movie about the stressful life of staff inside a restaurant, brilliantly captured in a single take. Stephen Graham's performance stands out in this Karovy Vary premiered movie that exposes the dark insides of a high-end restaurant in London. The unreasonable demands of customers, veiled blackmail by social media influencers, the unfairness of unilateral rating culture that drives up a frenzy till it reaches a boiling point. It leaves you with a feeling of guilt reminding us about the silliness of our instant social media ratings that could shatter somebody's life.

A very well made movie with brilliant production values and understated acting. The storyline is bold in that it tackles perhaps the potentially most "explosive" part of the planet earth, in a delightfully different light. Both the Palestinian and Israeli characters did immense justice to their roles. Simple and thought provoking dilogue matched by high production values. A must watch for those who like to appreciate humanity through light hearted comedy amidst bleak and hopeless West Bank politics

Shekhar Kammula is a gifted director who somehow managed to extract a defeat from the jaws of success. There is no reason why such brilliantly presented first half to turn into absurd twists and lose the plot. Everyone in the movie did their best except the editor, script writer and the director ( in the last part). What could have been an excellent movie unfortunately lost the plot, literally in the end. I may have been harsh with my assessment, that's because I felt the last rays of hope to redeem Telugu movies, too were wasted away in failing to present a gripping narrative. Shekhar should watch c/o Kancharapalem to understand how to end a movie.
