The title of the review in Variety of this disappointing series said it perfectly: Ten Percent is "an Unnecessary Retread of the Source Material". If you watched the French original be sure to give this UK retread a pass. What's most irritating is that the only watchable character was played by Jim Broadbent. (You'll know why that's irritating if you watch the first episode. )
The Birth of Sake is something like the marriage between an art film and home movies...and not in a good way. There are a lot of arty shots, done nicely, good cinematography, but they really add nothing to the story of the making of sake.
The footage that shows sake being made is, to be kind, amateurish. Just like in home movies, where your cousins and aunts are acting a bit strange because the camera is on them, the candid shots are embarrassing and add little to the story of what the title purports to be the theme.
It's a good idea, and there's probably a good movie to be made about the exacting nature of the making of sake, but this is not that movie.

The only reason I gave this one star was because Toni Colette is in it. This is possibly the worst movie I have ever sat all the way through. As bad as it was through the length of the movie, it GOT EVEN WORSE at the end.
Why actors like Toni Colette and Richard E. Grant got involved with this piece of smarmy trash is unfathomable. Toni bravely shouldered her way through this sodden, unbelievable mess, but even she couldn't pull two stars out of me. As another reviewer noted, it like the absolute worst of mindless Hollywood pap, but the film is actually British!
Sorry, I don't mean to go on about how awful it was, but I'm still in shock from having watched it. I hope that kid never ever gets another role and, for pity's sake, can somebody please ban that writer/director from movie making?
