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.
迪士尼水准之上，但相对于它家好的故事来说太贫乏了，以爱发电的主题内核快被用烂了，一眼见底的叙事走向，比冒险类的动画少了些华彩的段落，自我认同的部分其实也是千篇一律，但画面的流畅度，以及出类拔萃的配乐实在不忍心给出低分，轻松一刻绚烂多彩一如既往，这种流水线的制作团队，其他国家制作都不一定能达成，能多看一部是一部。★★★
喜欢炫彩的颜色，喜欢美丽的歌声，喜欢随处的花朵
4/10。看睡着了两次，根本不知道在干嘛。故事在我这是失效的，唯一没有魔法的人必是拯救家族危难的救世主；抛开故事看美术，是美的，但我还不如去看儿童画本，至少它很安静。收尾极其潦草，好希望房子就此塌掉女主背井离乡去过新生活。
迪士尼开发的哥伦比亚故事，美术精良，歌曲很好听，但故事一般。昨天下午于影院。
非常迪士尼，这不一定是坏事。但是戏剧冲突在哪里？什么矛盾都在一首歌里解决了，编剧有点偷懒。
这个格局真的是迪士尼吗？带一丢丢惊悚气氛有那么几分好感，但是本片本身就是期待值低，观后还真的对得起这个“低”了。
在我看来，这部电影魔法是有的，欢乐是有的，一贯的载歌载舞也是有的，可以说什么都有，就是没有惊喜。虽然它也没有那么糟，但对于精品频出的迪斯尼来说，中规中矩就等于平庸，就等于倒退。
m2243：离开的布鲁诺不曾离开；普通的米拉贝尔不普通！米拉贝尔与布鲁诺这段挺好玩。"期望"给人压力！
一场制作精良、不惜工本、呕心沥血的大型MV。一出祖孙两代割裂与和解的样板戏。祖母完美苛刻的背后是害怕失去的保护欲，而米拉贝这个角色本身并没有成长，她的不完美才是解开捆绑家庭魔咒的真正魔法。瞧瞧多好的主题呀，但就是没劲啊。
美术还是无可指摘的，情节太寡了。以及心灵奇旅都开始反梦想了，不知道迪士尼最最最最核心的价值——家庭，有没有可能有一天也被消解啊。
故事太单薄，女主连挫折都没有，幸福而无趣的人生。
留给迪士尼的第三世界素材不多了。不知为何，感觉这部音乐占比很高，未必是好事，似乎编剧已放弃更巧妙的叙述方式，改用歌唱把起承转合与角色心路一带而过。就神奇家族设定及其价值观的展现，感觉不如亚当斯一家有意思且深刻。中段破解预言家叔叔消失原因的情节倒因为加了一些悬疑元素而不至乏味。在这个故事里你依然能感受到迪士尼制作上无微不至的细节与流畅，但流水线的泪点像个不带感情的提词器，到点了就蹦出来，少了原始感动的爆发力。
布鲁诺被赶出家门十多年，家人从不谈论他，仿佛从来没有这个人。
海哥经典评价：一个只会嘴炮的人把周围的ic的超能力全都撸了以后变成leader的故事

首先只有在爷爷为保护家人选择独自面对追兵的时候把整部电影推向了高潮…其次和满场的小朋友一起看，夹杂着他们嘈杂的声音，感觉像是小学生春游…就…很普通
无论遭受何等不公，都要一心为家庭付出，要疯狂赞美家庭，唱首歌一切矛盾都能和解，一切错都能洗白，房子也不用塌。获一堆奖真无语了
各种zzzq……故事强行发展…歌也没得好好听…哎
没有什么困难，是用几首歌舞就能解决的，只有在迪士尼这里。。。
蜡烛不熄，是阿嬷对后人的期望，期望他们都能拥有独属于己的天赋，为整个家族争光，天赋开启之时的忐忑不安，代表了一种无形的裂缝，米拉贝尔的平庸正好让裂缝显形，打破了一直以来脆弱的庇佑，只有放下负担，不被天赋束缚，才能重立基础，创造新的未来。
