With few narrative missteps, Office delivers a soft critique of capitalism elegantly wrapped in a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional musical.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader After a while the overpacked plot begins to feel like an afternoon meeting that won't end. Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club For his first official foray into the genre, To brings his usual knack for cutting movement and stunningly composing figures against space to a world of pure stylization. Rated: B+ Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Justin Chang Variety Johnnie To and Sylvia Chang's stage-to-screen musical is a dazzling entertainment set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine That rare case of a director being great so many times that when his latest film is merely very good it feels like a disappointment. Rated: 6/10 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Fernando E. Juan Lima Otroscines.com As always, To's sharpness is evident; just as he touches upon Hong Kong's affiliation with China in his mob movies, in this luminous musical, he points to the economic downturn... [Full review in Spanish] Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Tom Bond One Room With A View The tunes are a decent if eclectic mix, but Office is just too long and boring to sustain interest.

Audience Member Interesting way of filming and story. Not as bad as I thought it's partly a musical Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review camille l Office est une comédie musicale en 3D, avec un décor factice entièrement métallique, qui ne laisse jamais passer la lumière du jour. Venant de Johnnie To, c'est inattendu, mais il se trouve que le réalisateur hongkongais s'en sort parfaitement. Il en vient presque à étaler ses qualités indéniables de metteur en scène avec quelques scènes de bravoure particulièrement remarquables. La caméra est constamment en mouvement, virevoltante à la mesure des numéros musicaux qui sont assez écoutables et humoristiques et la photographie est absolument somptueuse, au niveau des décors. Eason Chan, Tang Wei et Chow Yun-Fat sont parfaits, tandis que les deux leads un peu fades (ce qui peut être un choix de direction d'acteurs, au vu de la nature de leurs rôles). Office ne plaira qu'à une poignée de gens, mais ceux-ci sont partant pour une aventure inoubliable et unique. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member (Another one) a very strong smell of "made in China". Better than thought, but still far from remarkable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Over board in setting and lighting, bad tunes and forceful chemistry. It's just a torture, like a Monday early morning meeting which we all wish could end sooner. Worst is when directors are trying to kill 2 bird with one stone, pleasing the HK and China market at one go - the mix of Cantonese and Mandarin is unbearable.. to the point at some scenes, the actor themselves are not too sure if they are suppose to converse in Cantonese and Mandarin. Such a disgrace.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not that into musical films, but this is a good story. People always sell themselves and think they didn't do it on purpose at the very beginning, piece by piece .. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts off okay but then it gets a little to Moulin Rouge for me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
