Inside

"Well, it was somewhat interesting. William is a great actor. However, it was a bit depressing & once was enough. "

"Fortunate to have seen this... at home, that is, rather than in the theater. 😅🎭"

"2.5 ⭐️ it kept my interest probably due to Willem’s acting but I do think it’s an unnecessary film. Also what on earth was with the 💩 shot. WHY was it so long?! So disgusting and added nothing to the film. "

"WTH was this? Weird. "

"The set up of this one is pretty interesting...being trapped in a luxury high-rise apartment doesn't sound so bad but they quickly show how even the most posh surroundings can test your survival skills. Dafoe acts with himself for pretty much most of the film (like Hanks in castaway) and he does an excellent job. It is a one note plot and can a feel little long and boring. They could have shaved about 15 min off to tighten things up. Not bad...I think it's worth a watch for Dafoe and the concept.

"This is a one man survival film (like Castaway, Oxygen, The Martian, All Is Lost, etc) about an art thief stuck in a seemingly inescapable penthouse that is being governed by a malfunctioning “smart house” system. It is, for all practical purposes, a one person film and Dafoe gets to really show the range of things he can do here. While it’s not a masterpiece, I’m perplexed by its low ratings (1.6/5 on Likewise and 5.5/10 on IMDb). Dafoe was really good, it had a unique setting for a survival film and enough twists and turns to keep me interested. 3.5/5"

"I knew what I was getting myself into with that said this was agonizing to watch. Willem Dafoe gave a great performance, It was a very self-reflective piece, blurring the lines between art and reality. The symbolism of the bird trapped in the balcony net, mirroring the protagonist's entrapment within the penthouse, and the art he created in attempting to break free while gradually descending into madness is what I would imagine the creative process of a ‘tortured artist’ to be like."

"William Dafoe is insane! Such an off the wall dark premise."

"This is not an action packed movie or full of mystery. You will not get answers. This is simply a man trapped. What you see is desperation and some scenes you will need a somewhat strong stomach. "

"This is such an interesting concept for a film, even if a little far fetched. Dafoe's performance was amazing. You could see him slowly unraveling more and more, descending into madness, as time went on. It was believable in that sense. I was impressed with some of the escape ideas; I thought they were realistic of someone in that situation. Very difficult and agonizing to watch at times, even painful. For a very quiet movie with hardly any speaking lines, I really thought this was captivating and well done!"
