Authority Inc's newest employee, Orson (Jon Hamm), instantly develops a distaste for his office colleagues, offended by such things as their lackadaisical work habits, their sloppy attire, and even the lack of credibility of a young child's drawing depicting the sun on one of their desks. Determined to be "a person to be reckoned with," he prides himself on his work ethic, hewing to a strict hourly schedule of 55 minutes of intense work followed by a five-minute break. It isn't until Orson discovers an empty, elegantly appointed, wood-paneled office that he finds momentary contentment. Retreating there whenever he can, he discovers that it provides an inner peace that enables him to do his best work, resulting in kudos from his boss and the never seen "EVP" upstairs who truly controls things. His newfound status only increases his co-workers' resentment. More problematically, none of them can see the apparently magical office that serves as Orson's refuge.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's meant to be absurdist and satirical, but it just comes off one-note and facile. It may have worked as a short, but not a full length feature. Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Peyton Robinson RogerEbert.com “Corner Office” is a sometimes-funny satire stuffed with capitalist ennui, but it bites with dull teeth. Aug 10, 2023 Full Review William Repass Slant Magazine The film goes to show that humanism and absurdism are often two expressions of the same face. Rated: 3/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Like its main character, Orson, this comedy is so "peculiar" that not everyone will understand it -- but that's absolutely the point, which makes it brilliant. Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin The film is making a comment on the trials and tribulations of working in an office setting, but the messaging is fuzzy. Rated: C+ Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Murjani Rawls Draftkings Nation Instead of committing to the sci-fi complexities it can venture towards, 'Corner Office' looks to pull the emergency break on it all. In the end, you are left with two conclusions that both feel incomplete. Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel M A brilliant if peculiar film about Neurodivergence and not fitting in with a corporate setting because society is designed to cater to people who's brains work differently to yours. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Kurtis R A film that shouldn't work and be boring, is strangely interesting and keeps you hooked to the end. Well made and something a bit different. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Guy K My only regret is that it took me this long to watch this wonderful film. I wish Hollywood produced more film of such unique and appealing time. Absolutely loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Bob B One of the the greatest films I've ever seen. It's very slow, so I understand why most people can't grasp the appeal. Especially critics, bunch of uptight, sexually-frustrated tripes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review John B It is a bittersweet short story, produced well. Not sure why reviews are so polarized. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Hyper O I enjoyed that movie, it's a weird movie that is on my list of recommended movies of 2023 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
