Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

megaruda The atmosphere, the editing, the pretty much everything dealing with technique was pretty clean and engaging, the atmosphere specially was great, good at building suspense, the problem to me was easily the ending, the third act rushes everything and leaves an unsatisfying feeling of a major plot hole. Sadly it is literally unbelievable.

Leofwine_draca OFFICE is one of those South Korean thrillers that manages to serve double duty as a wonderful bit of satire taking aim at modern life at the same time. This one looks at the stress brought about by workplace practices, in particular the press faced by office workers always being driven by the bosses to succeed and do more. Isn't it only natural that some of them will end up going a little bit crazy? OFFICE is a slick, pitch-dark thriller that offers plenty of uneasy laughs alongside the violent plot line in which an ordinary office is plagued by violent deaths. The acting is of a typically high calibre and the direction fine, even if the material is a little too thin and familiar for this to be a classic.

auhconnect The cut-throat (literally) corporate work space of today, permeates through everything, including, our minds, our private lives and our homes. Sometimes this can result in unimaginable horrors. It is especially true for more submissive and highly orthodox work practices prevalent in Japan and Korea, where you work is expected to precede everything including your family. "Office" takes place within that ambiance and tells a story of a monolithic work space bordering on slave labour that the majority of multinational corporations have turned in to today. The characters involved share a completely serene on the surface but potentially demented dynamics between themselves that explodes with a bang eventually. The director has played with the genre and tried to include some new plot elements, however, they turn out as contrived at best.A half decent and formulaic out-put from Korean cinema that fails to match the standard set by the best of the lot coming out of there.

kosmasp Also not a normal day back at home. There are things happening here, that might and probably should alienate you. Some things are more than brutal (especially the depicted violence, just thinking about it, makes you shudder), other things seem to float along. It's a weird little gem, that is anything but mainstream.If you have seen other Korean movies, you know there is a sensibility to some of them, that might not feel right for western audiences. But that is what makes movies like this so great to watch. You have no idea where this is going, nor what to think of the main character. Is he supposed to be good or bad? Will that question be answered or not? What is the movie trying to tell us? ... and so forth
