Il mulino

This thriller seems to plod along without super strong thrills, but its goal is to make the audience think, which I felt it accomplished. Heavy on symbolism and strong performances helped me enjoy this maybe a bit more than some of the other reviewers, I don't know and I don't want to presume. Lil Rel, whom I had only seen previously in Get Out, sheds the comic relief role of that film for a nuanced lead in this one and is effective as he carries the movie visually with most interactions with other characters being strictly vocal. I would recommend it for those who prefer atmospheric movies, and those who prefer action should probably steer clear.

While things like this has been done before where people have been kept in captivity and see how they behave basically how they break down but this was a one man show, 99% of the time one man show. And I felt multitude of things most important of which is GRATITUDE. Through out histories many many people had this worst, I am thankful I am allowed to use my agency. I felt trapped before and i could relate to the pain of Joe. We think just working hard will make things better but we forget we need to change the system too. I learned I will need to choose my environment too where I reside. It might be very disappointing movie because of ending but I think the point was never the ending , the point was the grinding.

Super suspenseful and VERY much like a Black Mirror episode, just movie length!! Really wild ride indeed!!

The premise is wildly unique and there is no way you see the ending coming...

I truly think that if you go into fairly with no forced expectations, you will really enjoy this!!

I had NO clue what I was in for and I knew nothing about the movie before watching it... and I recommend you do the same!

It definitely has moments that are scary, ONLY because they are teetering on the edge of realistic and possible!

Rel did a great job with the character and it honestly keeps you guessing until the VERY end!

Give it a go!

This is the 1st review I'm leaving, because this is just awful, and I watch a LOT of movies. Also, I'm not picky, as find movies such as Sharknado and VelociPastor mildly entertaining, so my standards are pretttty low to say the least.

This so boring, I actually checked multiple times to see how much longer was left. The premise is somewhat original, and they could have done sooo much more with it, but wow, this was ultimately beyond the worst.

You expect there to be some "big" twist at the end, and if there was, even after the sitting through most painstakingly slow movie ever, it would be somewhat redeeming, but the "twist" is meh and pretty predictable, and definitely not worth it. I cannot express enough about how much I disliked this movie.

Had no idea what this movie was when I fired it up, and thought it was just going to be a straight up saw or cube genre horror flick. Its not far off from that, but its different. For those that have experienced being middle management at large growth corporations (in my case hi-tech) and have been subjected to their tactics, with management trees, illusion of choice, moving targets, unobtainable goals, and performance plans/metrics, (they left out ESG, DEI, volunteering, and encouraged donations) will relate to what this movie is relaying through its bleak surface level metaphor. Others will say, just leave or work somewhere else but also dont understand the golden handcuff stuff that makes it lucrative to continue to give them the best years of your lives in spite of the long hours and sleepless frustration. Either way, I thought it was simply demonstrated in an entertaining way with bleak atmosphere and a good caricature lead to transfer the emotion and frustration. Now, back to work.
