Office Hours

About This Movie

Office Hours (2003) has this intriguing blend of comedy and drama that captures the monotony of office life with a surprisingly relatable protagonist. Lotta, at 27, embodies that feeling of being stuck yet somehow content in her daily grind. The pacing feels almost lethargic, mirroring her own existence, but it works well to build up to her unexpected promotion. It's a bit quirky in its humor, never over-the-top, more subtle and dry, which adds to its charm. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, who nails that lost-yet-resilient vibe. It's not groundbreaking but offers this unique lens on ambition - or lack thereof - in a workplace that feels all too familiar.
