Late Shift 2025
It could have been even better if it had felt rawer and less clean. The camera is a bit too much by the books and dubbing the Swiss characters for the German audience was not a good idea.

I also feel the directing should have been more uncompromising in a way. More stillness (camera, editing and dialogue/script), with longer scenes instead of more.
But still an impactful film, thanks largely to the nuanced script and the actors.
