• ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
  • Touching portrayal of the impossible position many people in the gig-economy find themselves in, one unexpected expense being the difference between just about surviving and abject poverty.
  • Real and very, very uncomfortable film [?] lives of people we had maybe never deeply thought about.  Poverty in isolation.
    this was a deeply moving film.
  • A mesmeric performance from Joana Santas.  More than a hint of Ken loach here, and I had always thought that teaching was bad…!
  • Pete Seeger sang about Little Boxes –  only 100 times worse.
• ‘Very Good’: 5 votes
  • Down the Ken Loach/Paul Laverty road, but from the female perspective.
  • Great choice – heartbreaking ending.  Very natural performance by the lead.
  • Depressing but it made me feel grateful.  The fragility of her world was very carefully portrayed[?]. Understated – but hidden warmth.
  • Ken Loach like.  A savage assessment of the world of work we’ve created.  Not the utopia technology was promised to deliver.
  • Memories of shared living as a young adult.   The interview was uncomfortable as out of work she was merely trying to survive.
• ‘Good’: 4 votes
  • Unrelenting, but sadly so true for “fulfilment” centre workers.
  • Watching people – fascinating.  But what was all the ‘junk’ (made in China?) that the poor girl was ‘processing’?  All she seemed to need was the comfort of strangers.
  • Film about surviving depression.  Great symbolism, subtle foreshadowing.  Love an open ending.  Despite being slow paced, still managed to keep interest the whole way.
  • Was definitely a slow burn but I did leave smiling in the end – just grateful it wasn’t a sad ending.  I like that all the workers had names in the credits, even if they never said them on screen.
• ‘Satisfactory’: 0 votes
