The Apprentice

About This Movie

The Apprentice is an intriguing blend of dark comedy and uncomfortable moments. You have Wayne, played by Anton Yelchin, who's like this quintessential awkward guy just trying to find his footing in an unusual job. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially when he's left alone with the deceased and the grim tasks at hand. The pacing is curious; it lingers in moments of absurdity while exploring themes of mortality and isolation. The practical effects, though minimal, add a layer of authenticity that’s hard to shake off. You can't help but feel for Wayne as he navigates this bizarre night; it's both absurd and oddly poignant. Definitely a unique piece in Yelchin’s filmography.
