Critics Consensus

Inside might be a one-note drama that verges on an endurance test, but it does have Willem Dafoe going for it, which is nice.

It’s like someone dropped Willem Dafoe in the middle of an antique shop with a baseball bat and said, “Go to town!” And that he does.

The film has exhausted both the premise and its leading man’s capabilities, while the audience has grown tired of pondering whatever themes it purports to examine. It’s time to part ways, and yet the images keep flickering and the film keeps going.

3/4

"Inside" pits the most primal elements of humanity against the most advanced in order to tease out the contradictory and alienating nature of our current world.

The filmmaking itself is far from compelling and doesn’t do much to supplement Dafoe’s performance, rendering “Inside” a lost opportunity.

Willem Dafoe is the best company should one be trapped in an apartment. The multifaceted actor animates this blackly comic survival drama.

It’s all very minimalist and for at least its first half Inside is a gripping survival story. But Inside wears out its welcome, slipping ever more deeply into improbability.

Pretty much ALL movies Willem Dafoe is in I like. His acting ability is beyond reproach!! He is in EVERY SCENE in this movie and made you feel like you were there with him, feeling what HE was supposed to be feeling. I REALLY enjoyed the whole movie - the "will he/will he NOT" escape the unique ways he managed staying alive and his attempts at escape. The only part I felt cheated was re: the ending. I am a person who WANTS A DEFINITIVE ENDING, and for "me", this one left me hanging.

I would score it lower if I could. The movie made no sense and after 2 hours I still dont understand the end. Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen

Problem with this movie is that it goes no where fast and worst of all after an hour in it gets boring. Trapped inside a penthouse, umm ok, just go with it sure but after a big attempt happens and no one notices it, you realize how its a bit ridiculous
