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.
台湾女孩的嗲，美国女孩的mean，单独来看都很可爱，合在一起就很受不了！
同样是讲中西文化冲突和母女代际关系以及青少年情感，与外放的 Turning Red 相比，个人反倒更喜欢本片静水深流式的情绪与氛围（东亚 vs 北美的创作及审美取向亦可见一斑），找回了些世纪之交的台湾电影的意境。林嘉欣不觉见老，仍是很有韵味。又及。
简短的叙事篇，我也不禁在想，我要是有这样的女儿，会怎么办
片名“美国女孩”，但其实讲的是两种不同文化相互碰撞的家庭故事。很喜欢影片前半呈现出来的生活质感，偶尔的小温情能让人心里暖暖的。影片后半借用当年SARS来套用当下，想要的东西太多，叙事太赶影响了节奏。最后一场家庭大矛盾就草草和解收场，有一种到点打卡下班的感觉。其实还可以表达更多东西，烂尾可惜了。
竟然是处女作，导演太成熟，敏感又脆弱尖锐又无力。挑不出什么毛病的片子，非常喜欢一些细节满满又情节缺失的处理。想拨乱反正，这才应该是最佳影片，林嘉欣也不知道比贾静雯强了几条街。
2021/12/06新光影城台北市婦女館特映。台詞很真實，跟《瀑布》比起來較貼近生活。
非常动人，几位小演员的表演非常好，作为导演第一部长片来说有很多值得学习的地方，尤其是那种人物虚焦的状态，反而突出了生活本身。但很遗憾的是导演想要的有些多，包括两种意识形态的冲突、宗教体系的差异，家庭中个人的故事展开，都没有能够交代，但瑕不掩瑜，很好
妈妈本来就因为生病一堆事，还有个不懂事的逆子，就会中伤身边的人，家庭真是太烦了，各种特定情况，会让人崩溃的。
即使当初不回来也不会比现在开心太多，得不到的永远最好，回不去的才是故乡。片中听到周杰伦，片尾听到陈绮贞，在2022看2003，是情景再现，也是正在经历。
很難得，自從上次觀賞《孤味》後，再一次看到不是整部片子都在耍流氓、爆粗口、罵台式髒話，也不會一昧搞同性戀來迎合社會話題……的台灣電影。
2003年非典爆发时期，母亲带着两个女儿从美国回台北治病，但大女儿非常不情愿回来，造成她和母亲的矛盾冲突与日俱增。
No.15
很棒能看到这样涉及跨文化身份题材的电影 一下能说出来很多故事 又仿佛缄口不提的一段秘密 那些永远处于“中间地带”的非黑非白 旁人眼中的“外国人“ 家这个概念已经被消解成莫名其妙的道德和价值 被自由代替 被魔怔淹没 你以为你想家吗 其实你只是想逃避一切
不绝望就不会zhangda
近几年来，台湾电影颇有中兴之势，其深层原因，很可能与18年金马事件有关。大陆的终止合作，使得不少台湾电影人才回归本岛。有人才有戏，这是无可辩驳的道理。
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。
梁方仪的角色像《牯岭街》小明和《一一》中婷婷的混合体。
跟瀑布有点撞主题，但是更细腻真实，母女表演也很棒，Sars那个时间点现在都成了怀旧。
比起愛，這一家人更懂什麼是恨。喜歡這部片細水長流的講述方式，到最後也沒有所謂的和解。看了導演的訪問，她說這部片沒有一場戲是虛構的，所以這種自傳式的情感故事衝擊力很大。話說大女兒在網咖裡聽的那首是周杰倫的什麼歌？（😢）
跟瀑布一样都聚焦于疫情下的母女关系，演员很细腻真实，整体算是流畅好看，但是结尾有些仓促粗糙，包括铺陈多时的演讲与跨文化议题嘎然而止，情绪得不到像瀑布的蓝色幕布拉掉一样的释放。
