The Ceiling (2018) is this quirky Finnish gem that dives into the absurdity of life’s limitations. Olavi, a middle-aged guy facing a pretty rough patch in his marriage, heads to his cabin by the lake wanting to escape it all. But then the ceiling physically descends on him, forcing a literal and metaphorical reckoning. The atmosphere is intriguingly claustrophobic, with a mix of dry humor and poignant moments. The pacing feels like a slow burn, allowing the themes of isolation and acceptance to settle in. The practical effects here are clever, turning a simple cabin into a confined space that mirrors Olavi’s internal struggle. Definitely a unique narrative that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
Interesting use of space and practical effects. · Captures the essence of midlife crisis with humor. · A unique blend of comedy and introspection.
