Prison Architect

About This Movie

Prison Architect is an intriguing exploration of confinement, blending a present-day architect’s reality with that of a prisoner from an ambiguous past. The tone is contemplative, almost haunting at times, as it dives into the psyche of both characters, revealing their struggles and hopes. The dialogue feels organic, drawing you into deep philosophical debates about humanity and the constructs of society. The pacing is measured, allowing the viewer to really digest the layered themes of freedom and entrapment. It's not heavy on practical effects, but the minimalist approach works well, focusing instead on the performances that feel raw and genuine. There’s something about the duality of their worlds that feels profoundly resonant.
