Simply A Masterpiece

People are voting emotionally.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Just by chance I picked this movie up about 6 months ago. I loved it. The plot is simple, a group of co workers make a bet as who can stay inside the longest. As the film progresses the use of camera shots and split screen suggest the "walls are closing in" feeling of claustrophobia. It is a wonderfully quirky movie, subtly funny - which is nice, because slap-you-in-the-face humor is getting quite old now a days. The film hits home because the acting is realistic. There aren't perfect one-liners constantly spewed out by the lead character set up by pointless dialog on the part of the supporting characters. The conversations are realistic and awkward at times - you end up feeling you're trapped inside too.

One of my top 20 movies for sure.The characters are what make this movie. And the touch or surrealism. The premise is that four coworkers make a bet that whoever is the last to remain inside wins a month's salary. Until then they live their entire lives inside this bubble.One of my favorite props is that even the smokers can live their entire existence indoors; they smoke in these little tubes inside the building.Some of the characters are a kleptomaniac boss, a suicidal cubicle slave, a directionless young office worker, and the initiator of the bet, who had succeeded living indoors for something like a year.

From the first few minutes of watching this movie I could tell it was going to be a good one. The narrators humor is dark, pessimistic and completely truthful. The plot itself is seemingly humorous.Four coworkers become involved in a bet to see who can stay inside the longest. But do not be fooled. It's much darker and deeper it sounds. That is only one aspect of it though, it's much darker and deeper than it sounds. This film takes off into a completely unexpected direction right from the get go, serving as a commentary on people and the monotony of office life. It points out that being trapped in an office could make anyone start to question their sanity. This film contains the in your face reality and sharp edge that only an independent film could capture. A good watch that makes you think.

I like the premise of this movie and some of it is amusing, but the jittery camera work and choppy editing felt like the work of an ambitious student filmmaker who wanted to show off his "technique." There is something to be said for telling a story simply. Compare this movie with Clockwatchers to see how the interesting script should have been handled. After a half hour I was getting dizzy and annoyed and just couldn't take it anymore. I did like what little I saw of Tammy Isbel's quirky performance, and I thought the opening stuff about the superhero was quite amusing, and there really was enough in this movie to keep me watching if not for the horrible direction and editing. But you need a stronger stomach than I have to sit through this.
