Came across 'The Oak Room' while browsing the Prime catalogue.
Never heard of it before, so I went in blind hoping for the best...
This is very nice slow burn thriller with a very limited cast and which is set in limited locations (2 bars) during a snow storm at night.
It takes its time to build the atmosphere to a point that it becomes really unsettling.
This movie relies on storytelling and does this very well.
The stories that are told and the conversations are gripping and thought provoking. You need to pay attention to the details, because these details will help you to understand the ending.
Really enjoyed RJ Mitte's (aka Walter White JR) performance!
Probably not for everyone, but if you enjoy a slow burn thriller where words/stories are more important than action, maybe you should give 'The Oak Room' a chance... I'm glad I did.
