Review of Corner Office (2023) by Jluis_001 — 19 Aug 2023

This attempt to capture the cold and detached essence of the corporate environment, with its lifeless ambiance, possessed certain tools for a more incisive satirical exploration, yet strangely enough, the director chose to envelop it in a dystopian veneer, rendering the film too mechanical to escape a parched and monotonous tone, that even its voice-over resource - intended to be humorous - becomes obsolete too quickly.

Corner Office held the potential to extract more from its premise. However, unlike the other debut I've watched earlier, this director can't help the stagnation of its plot, the pacing becomes unwieldy, and it lacks full realization, losing a lot of vigor along the way and continually floundering, though it never quite falls apart in my opinion, but all of its sharp commentary falls flat, so in the end it leaves no lasting impression.
