Plot summary

In this office satire, Orson, a straight-laced employee, retreats to a blissfully empty corner office to get away from his lackluster colleagues. But why does this seem to upset them so much?

Touching and thought-provoking

I liked it, but then I find movies (and other art forms) concerning the act of work, especially office work, quite engrossing. I can understand why it might seem weird and unremarkable to some. Perhaps you need to have experienced office work, especially in a large, soulless space, toiling for a large, soulless organisation, to appreciate some of the nuances and petty frictions on display here. The more I think about the film, the more it chimes with me. It's one man raging against the machine and finding his own way of managing the profound frustrations of being misunderstood and under-appreciated.

Quirkily dark & interesting dramedy that won't appeal to all

In off-centre, dark dramedy "Corner Office" (adapted by Ted Cupper from Jonas Karlsson's book 'The Room') Jon Hamm (always strong) is a new employee (under Christopher Heyerdahl alongside the likes of Danny Pudi & Allison Riley (with Sarah Gafon in support)) at a dull, grey, monolithic corporation, which tho contempory feels backwards & Seventies (in a "Wristcutters: A Love Story" stylee). Told from Hamm's perspective it's soon clear he's mentally ill, imagining for example the plush titular office (which no-one else can see) where he gathers his thoughts. Joachim Back delivers a quirkily interesting film in distinctive style... but it won't be to everyone's taste.

Autism in the Office

This film is based on a book which I've not read, i don't know how it all comes across in the book but in the film it comes across as a character study about a man with highly functioning autism and social awkwardness in a corporate office environment.Im not Autistic but know a few people who are and when I go digging this is how they describe it, kind of...Overall it makes a pretty interesting study into how this would work in an office environment from the perspective of an autistic person. There is however a big part if this which is the ' room '. I don't want to spoil anything by giving away too much detail but it adds the overall theme in an interesting way.This is not a comedy as such so don't go expecting ' The Office '. This is a quirky drama and character study, the office elements provide a backdrop but they seem a bit exagerated or strange in comparison to a regular office environment. This only adds to the quirky feel of the film.I found its fairly short runtime engaging and interesting but overall maybe lacking an overall message or ideology, instead opting to show us one mans slightly warped point of view.I think if you know what to expect before you watch, you may not come out so disappointed like some of the other reviewers.I think it sits somewhere around a 6 or 7 out of 10.
