| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghPerformances are solid and the washed-out, blue-tinged cinematography lends a sickish aura to the soul-eroding cubicles, offices and conference rooms that all too vividly evoke the mind-set of depressed wage slaves. |
| New York TimesDana StevensThe first feature film by Bilge Ebiri, a New York Magazine film critic, is an unusual hybrid, a surreal 'cubicle comedy' that subtly morphs into a paranoid thriller. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThis is Ebiri's first feature after directing four shorts. He shows talent, but shouldn't give up his day job just yet. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittAlas, the movie is less clever than its characters. |
| User ReviewChristen BThe movie is very unusual. What starts as a relatable office comedy ends as something completely inexplicable. I'm inclined to think the entire movie is a metaphor. |
| User ReviewRavi AI didn't have high expectations for this movie, but I actually quite enjoyed it for the most part. I'm a big fan of black comedy and this film fits into that category well. It's low budget and cheesy, but it's also just creepy enough, in a mundane way, that it kept me interested. I wish it had had a better ending, but overall I liked it. |
