This was strange to say the least. Intriguing perhaps. Could have been great, but in the wrong hands. The boss was an irritating character that really bugged me and not in a good way. The film had some good funny scenes, but unintentionally the funniest was the worst ever embodiment of a dead person. The idea here is to do nothing! Besides the boss and a very alive dead person, the acting was good.

Brilliant idea for a film - but unfortunately the worst possible execution. Badly acted the cast can't catch your attention or raise any compassion for their fate. While the story starts somewhat mysterious and you are guided into an expectation that some humour may follow, the plot turns totally stale and - which I consider worse - completely foreseeable after about 15'. The ending makes no sense at all and leaves you in the chair with that feeling "What the heck? That's it?" A great frustration and the feeling of having been duped, of having lost valuable life-time that could have been much better used to watch a real movie. An extreme disappointment!

This is one of these movies that provoke existential questions like: who's gonna give me back those 82 minutes of life? Or, who can spend u$s 1.6mm dollars in such unnecessary movie?

The actors are not that terrible but there is a total lack of argument in the film, and it tries to build suspense around something that is never going to happen.

The main argument says that the workers are bribed into working one last night, but the right word is blackmailed.

Please go see the grass grow, and you wont't waste your time this much.

A dark funny look at a big corporation that is run by evil twins. Not something you want to watch to lift your spirits, but it is a movies that will make you laugh. It takes a dark view of what people will do to make a buck and how they don't care what it costs the world around them until something brings it home personally to them. Though it makes you laugh, it also sends a message to us to think a little more about what we do that impacts the world around us and think about if the almighty $ is really worth the other costs. I won't say I loved this movie, but I did find it entertaining and I think the actors did a great job.

I struggled a bit with this movie at first, but it kind of grows on you.

This film is highly stylized, so if art films are something you enjoy, you will probably fall in love with it faster than I did.

Although this is not the type of film I typically enjoy, I found myself drawn in as it progressed from awkward character driven drama into a surrealist comedy.

For me, this was very reminiscent of French films, Amelie and Delicatessen, with a few nods to The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover thrown in for good measure.

Credit to the set designers, cinematographers, and editors for giving this movie such a consistent and immersive feel on what I suspect was a fairly limited budget. The actors and writers also deserve praise for pulling together what could have been an unwatchable mess if not sold properly and instead creating an intriguing film.

While the nihilistic humor, absurdist storyline, and darker feel of this movie might not be to everyone's tastes, everyone should still be able to appreciate what its makers accomplished. They took what was a difficult vision to execute and, without the benefit of a massive budget, created something special and entertaining.

I want to throw around terms like farce and absurdist, but I'm no expert. I do remember enough from college lit to think that this film is kinda both of those. It's a real gem, in any case, if you can tear yourself away from the expectations that Hollywood blockbusters have produced in us as viewers and that particular kind of suspense of disbelief. It has a plot, and it has some moral aspirations, but that's not the point. It is almost the antithesis of 'great drama'. It's deliriously anarchist in perspective, anarchic in execution, and wonderfully well executed at that. The cast is fantastic - I especially loved Paulino Nunes and Anna Ferguson. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee's performance (Kim's Convenience) was a revelation. Mark O'Brien is *always* fun to watch, and was maybe the lynchpin here. I'm not familiar with the other actors in the film, but was really happy with their performances in each of their roles :) This is a glorious dark comedy! We giggled all the way through this film - it was a delight! I'll watch it again, once I can find it :)
