O Mistério do Moinho

While things like this has been done before where people have been kept in captivity and see how they behave basically how they break down but this was a one man show, 99% of the time one man show. And I felt multitude of things most important of which is GRATITUDE. Through out histories many many people had this worst, I am thankful I am allowed to use my agency. I felt trapped before and i could relate to the pain of Joe. We think just working hard will make things better but we forget we need to change the system too. I learned I will need to choose my environment too where I reside. It might be very disappointing movie because of ending but I think the point was never the ending , the point was the grinding.

This thriller seems to plod along without super strong thrills, but its goal is to make the audience think, which I felt it accomplished. Heavy on symbolism and strong performances helped me enjoy this maybe a bit more than some of the other reviewers, I don't know and I don't want to presume. Lil Rel, whom I had only seen previously in Get Out, sheds the comic relief role of that film for a nuanced lead in this one and is effective as he carries the movie visually with most interactions with other characters being strictly vocal. I would recommend it for those who prefer atmospheric movies, and those who prefer action should probably steer clear.

There is nothing really original in the background or overall structure of THE MILL. We've seen the setup before, many times. But hey, the story is boss and, equally, so is the telling of the story.

This is a great little story, and it's well told.

The lead character is annoying, but as things go on you begin to suspect his irritating abrasiveness hides a plot purpose. In fact you begin to suspect lots of things.

And that's good mystery. That's GOOD writing!

We are in the middle of a writing desert, which nobody seems to have an explanation for. We are drowning in boring-recycled-style over any kind of substance.

This makes things like THE MILL a pleasant relief.

If you like the original BLACK MIRROR (when it was good and Charlie Brooker was on fire with his creative control), you'll recognise and like THE MILL. I'm sure of it.

If I could criticise it, it's too long and the ending is too drawn out, but I can't go into details without spoiling it. Nothing wrecks the story.

A solid 7 in my book.

Super suspenseful and VERY much like a Black Mirror episode, just movie length!! Really wild ride indeed!!

The premise is wildly unique and there is no way you see the ending coming...

I truly think that if you go into fairly with no forced expectations, you will really enjoy this!!

I had NO clue what I was in for and I knew nothing about the movie before watching it... and I recommend you do the same!

It definitely has moments that are scary, ONLY because they are teetering on the edge of realistic and possible!

Rel did a great job with the character and it honestly keeps you guessing until the VERY end!

Give it a go!

If you have felt like your work is monotonous and pointless. Or your getting nowhere in your career or life. And thought of just downing tools. Ever realised you could make things better at work if the workforce all pulled together....or felt like the management dont listen or see you as a number, there to do their bidding.....youll get this movie.

All the bad reviews on here i think are from people expecting something akin to the Saw series or similar one location horror/thrillers......this isnt that, if you watch and put it in the context of your own dissatisfied work life youll see how smart and poignant this movie is.

Well acted by Lil Rel Howery, the end could have been better but i felt like this movie spoke to me and how i feel about my boring, unfulfilling job.
