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.
