Review of Corner Office

Corner Office (2022)
4/10
Doesnt take off. Gets stuck in a gimmick. Style over content.

Warning: Spoilers
Ridiculous stories can be interesting to watch, IF ONLY the characters are interesting, the dialogues are true to life and there is some sort of ongoing vibe, dynamic that makes it worth a watch.

NONE of that.

This movie is about a grey office job at a grey office, with grey furniture and grey collegues. Literally everything is (purposely) grey. Symbolising the dull and tedious work that has to be done.

Every little mundane task gets highlighted in detail, like printing some documents, waiting for the coffee, going to the toilet.

A year ago I saw a similar movie, wherein NOTHING happens, but which was beautifully photographyed, excellently scored and with terrifc acting performances.

A (purposely) DULL story can be really interesting IF ONLY it still has got some spark and punch. This movie has close to NONE of that.

NOT recommended. A BORE of a watch.

Style over content. Not funny. Not surprising. Not even original.

Failed gimmick.
