I would [REC]ommendation itI'm knee deep into assistant house managing a stage show, so I needed something short and sweet and lull my movie obsession. I chose to watch this for (its length, the fact that I've been close to watching this movie before, and a friend suggested I watch it). I'm glad I did, because this was a fun and high stakes time. Off the bat, the set up is fantastic, driving up the stakes and frustrations that the cast of characters have. The found footage element feels incredibly fleshed out with the leads being TV reporters, and their insistent need to record everything leading to good character retrospectives and some commentary about journalism. The setting is great, and the way they present it allows the space to be subject to unbridaled chaos. The sound design was my favorite aspect, having a wide range of audio that feels in universe and not added in post. While I love the ending, the quick attempt to explain why this is happening felt sloppy. Otherwise, this was a perfectly paced little thriller.
