Escape Room

About This Movie

Escape Room (2021) dives deep into a strained relationship, set against the backdrop of a pandemic. The confined space amplifies tension; it’s just the two of them, grappling with trust issues and past mistakes. The pacing is introspective, allowing viewers to really feel the weight of their emotional turmoil. The dialogue feels authentic, almost raw at times, and the performances bring a palpable sense of anxiety and realism. What stands out is how the atmosphere shifts with each text message—the jealousy, the misunderstandings. It’s a minimalist setup that relies on the actors' chemistry more than any flashy effects. A noteworthy exploration of modern love amidst crisis, it leaves an imprint of discomfort and reflection.
