Automat

About This Movie

Automat is this intriguing exploration of modern work culture, where the atmosphere feels heavy with the weight of impending change. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the characters and their struggles. You’ve got these two fulfilment workers, caught in the grind, and their performances really pull you into their daily frustrations. There’s a sense of looming dread about robotisation that hangs over the film, almost like a character in its own right. The practical effects, while subtle, heighten the tension — it’s not flashy, but it’s effective. It’s a quiet, contemplative piece that gets under your skin, making you think about the future of work and humanity's place in it.
