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.
潮汕人支持系列之又一部。故事本身并没那么吸引，比较容易猜，或许还是看一些些情怀在支撑。妈妈一角挺符合印象中的潮汕女性，不过我觉得应该是比较像在拜拜习俗相对浓的地区的妈妈。有些地方妈妈和男主还是有点不大自然，但语言的使用还是保留得挺好的，特别那些语气粗口，挺到位挺有感觉。3颗星，有一颗是鼓励，希望未来能更突破。
把很多熟悉的习俗都体现出来。上一部主角和爸爸，这一部主角和妈妈。拍的很有同感。
一开场的高压锅，卤味，麻叶，太对味了，潮汕人的我不禁姨母笑了哈哈哈，寻思着这片名再烂就冲这开头也不会差到哪里去了。作为经济特区，深圳和汕头现在发展天壤之别，导演在这两个地方拍摄效果也大相径庭。(可能是纪录片导演的通病？)汕头的剧情拍得很不错，3个主演表现很好，其他角色看得出来都是素人但是没觉得尴尬，时不时穿插一些生活笑料可太有意思了。中间那场母子的冲突戏是全片最佳，后面剧情有点平甚是可惜，但结局的伪第一人称视角挺喜欢的。有亮点也有不足吧，作为方言电影，题材有点广泛，导演想探讨的问题有点多都最后基本没解决。还是很高兴能在荧屏上看到潮汕电影的，所以我也双标一下加多一颗星。(PS:外省+二婚+30+，这buff太太太离谱了，比买特码难多了)
在最后在飞机上男主用手机给妈妈拍视频的时候，妈妈说了一句“妈妈是不是好没用啊”破防啦
很真实啊，剧情走向也很好，本地人觉得拍得很赞，潮汕话也很真实哈哈哈，值得五星
结尾手持的部分救回了中间凌乱的剪辑。后面两首插曲很赞
故事情节真的是很老套的，从一开头就能猜到结局。但后面想到如果代入到以后自己的角色中，又会有一点感动和希望。男女主角长得有点“磕碜”，妈妈演的还可以，生硬但真实。

电影本身还挺一般的，有一些小彩蛋，看得出来导演是资深影迷。
1. 外省人外国人，代入感极强 2. 小姐姐真是太好了 3. 素人演员不可替代
来了深圳一个月之后看了一部潮汕电影，来了南方才知道原先的很多戒备其实并不需要，相通的事物（送礼时的推三阻四、老乡之间的相见恨晚）扑面而来的是亲切，城市和原乡之间的撕裂被语言不通的喜感和习俗化解。套路式的爱情被潮汕化，演变成两代人之间相互服从习惯的故事，静静地感受生活后能看上这样一部电影，不悲不喜就是对每一天最好的勉励…
妈妈们真的是一个好伟大的角色

去过的汕头糖水店，很怀念啊！
所以想表达什么？婆婆接受了外地儿媳，接受了离过婚的儿媳，然后呢？歌颂什么，传递什么？
三星半。温情好故事，时代冲突，家长里短，地域文化，结合而不乱。本土素人演员加分不少。
很有感觉，虽然并不是潮汕人，但着实喜欢这种土里土气的风格，就跟看《雄狮少年》喜欢那些滲透着地方杂味的配乐一样，是嘹亮的嗓子冲散污浊的世间的一刻，因为没有流于通俗，而保留着其小众的美…
就是结局还是有一点偶像剧了
另一方面，男主配不上珊珊的勇敢，他在面对来自母亲的阻力的时候，他退缩了软弱了，最终被伤透了心的珊珊回到了杭州，在此我只想对珊珊说一句:快逃！！！！！别回头！！！！！
