    Transient

    ★★★★

    This was a glitchy, trippy sci-fi drama/thriller feature film in all the best ways! Incredible cinematography, vibes, and production design really grounded you in the story and the production did an excellent job of achieving a lot with very little resources--scaling the screenplay properly to tell an engaging story with just a few characters within a small amount of locations.

    ★★★

    Watched Office Space for the first time ever tonight—it was really fun! Genuinely a funny comedy movie that definitely felt set in the 90s but not completely uncomfortably so. Great visual comedy and the comic beats in the script were pitch-perfect—the first ten minutes or so were a genuine masterclass in both visual comedy and laser-focused satirizing of cubicle hell. A very funny plot, witty satire, and pretty solid cinematography across the boards.

    Characterization was not great across the boards,…
