Corner Office

The film goes to show that humanism and absurdism are often two expressions of the same face.

Corner Office is a sometimes-funny satire stuffed with capitalist ennui, but it bites with dull teeth, failing to provide enough support for its sentiment to stick.

Corner Office is a just-okay office satire saved by Jon Hamm playing the anti-Jon Hamm.

It’s only towards the very end, when the film’s satire and surrealism pull apart from each other like a party cracker, that the tension brewing in Orson’s department becomes compelling enough to justify the busywork of creating it.

Corner Office succeeds all too well in conveying the deadening effects of office work, practically serving as a testimonial to the pandemic-created trend of working from home.

Like head-in-the-clouds Orson, Back’s debut feature imagines more for itself than others can see, though only the latter has earned a shot at another job.

Hamm makes himself look bland, which is no small accomplishment. But he’s also smothering much of what makes him an exciting actor.

This was a fascinating surrealistic dramedy/mystery following the inner thoughts of a tightly wound but hard working employee of a nameless "authority corp". The only respite from the incompetency of his colleagues is in the 'corner office', a strange place seemingly only visible to him alone. Great cinematography cast and writing made for a gripping textured if a little mundane story.

It starts out interesting with the eerie tone and psychological aspect of it and it feels like one of the mindf*ck movies, but the ending is very basic and boring and makes you feel why did you watch it even. If they would have made the ending more interesting it would be a good movie.

A morosidade da narrativa tem um porquê, de modo a retratar o aspecto burocrático daquela corporação, tanto que a correria no clímax soa ate estranho. No mais, a história tenta tirar leite de pedra, tem seus momentos, mas até mesmo a opção pela narração do protagonista não convence. Ainda bem que Joh Hamm está ótimo no papel, o que segura o interesse.

"Corner Office" (2022, 100-mins, PG-13, $0 boxoffice, D/Joachim Back) attracts you since Jon Hamm ("Orson") stars and he finds a room that he's told doesn't exist. This entire film is deception. First, Orson has a psychosis. The room objectively does not exist, it's a micro-utopia he's carved out in his mind, and it's not even a corner office. This should've been sold as a half-hour Twilight Zone episode. It has no business being feature length. The writers and director have little to no experience, and whatever there is, is in shorts. Jon Hamm is wasted in the lead, he's only attached to this for name recognition. There's so much dull, uninspired narration that you could treat this as an audiobook; seriously, there's practically no need for it to have visuals. I wasted my time so you don't have to, avoid.

complete garbage. I'd have rather watched paint dry. some sort of message that corporate culture is bad and people would like a better space to occupy within their offices. yea, no s--- sherlock.
