Have you ever wanted to do something in your workplace, that you knew would have been the right way to do it? And then the boss said you wasn't allowed and forced you to do it another way - with a much worse result. Well, that's kind of what this film is about. It's about how people with a great integrity don't get accepted. In todays society it's more important to be an extrovert, a talker, and a show off. That what makes you accepted and sometimes successful. But if you want to to things your way, maybe being a bit of an introvert - that's not accepted. The person in the movie have found ways to do brilliant work - but not in the way other people are doing it. So even if he's brilliant, he never get's accepted. At least that's my take on this movie. And if you can find time to relax, and land, maybe you would appreciate this unusual and slow moving story. I know I did.

Lesson learned: Movie critics have never had real jobs. The movie was original. Hamm's acting was superb, and all the other actors thrived. The flow of the movie was fine. And its philosophical theme was refreshing. The room was a metaphor for the state of mind that exceptional people go to, either to achieve, or to reflect on the pitiful state of their peers who live in a perception rather than a reality. The movie did a great job highlighting how power structures almost never perfectly map to talent, and they tend to be self serving, unfaithful to the causes for which they claim to exist. The movie, in a moving, artistic way, reveals the truth, that most people are crazy, and very few are sane.

This is an intelligent film about mental illness in a corporate setting - something most people today can really relate to I think. It is well done and is pretty artistic, but not super artistic or weird or anything like that. Its main character is a very intelligent and effective worker but suffers from some sort of mental illness, perhaps autism, which causes him to get caught up in his own thoughts and imagination, and the delusion that there is a secret corner office where conditions are perfect for doing absolutely perfect work...however his coworkers turn him into a pariah when they notice the signs of mental illness, in spite of the fact that they all have painfully obvious faults and flaws of their own that also bother him but which he doesn't shame them for. The entire movie is narrated by him as he speaks his mind to us, which is pretty interesting and full of intelligent thoughts that I think we can all relate to and will enjoy hearing. And a lot of his thoughts, and the situations he finds himself in are quite humorous....but in a very different and pretty odd way, which makes it quite new and novel, something I loved about it as I've gotten so tired of the same old stuff in movies and TV. Some of the humor is subtle but a lot of it made me laugh out loud. It's not a late night raunchy comedy, quite the opposite: it may seem a bit low key to some, perhaps slow at times, yet it is still very interesting and entertaining. Made moreso by the fact that it is also a bit sad at times, so it is not totally light hearted, but has an emotional message for us. I think this is a comedy film we all really need in this day and age. And also that John Hamm was a really good main character and portrayed his character perfectly. If you can relate to anything I've just said I urge you to watch it. It could make you both laugh and think about your own situation and condition in ways that you will find really enriching.

It's been a while since I watched a real movie. It was sufficient for me to know that John Hamm was starring in a dark comedy for me to watch it with no further information. I do believe its best to just watch it with minimal prior awareness. Just like some excellent movies of yesteryears, this movie will grip you and stay with you even after the end credits roll. Anybody with a creative bent and also work experience in a corporate environment will quickly warm up to the protagonist and identify with him. Creative people want the same things as others, but others fail to accept the manner in which creative people operate. The movie is a critique on the culture of supremacy of mediocrity. It isn't that mediocre people are without their little fallacies and foibles, but somehow their issues are ignored. The odd behavior of a creative person, regardless of his or her contribution is however chastised. If you've had enough years of life experience in the work force, then this movie will provide some catharsis. The protagonist experiences the same fears, pride, and injustices you have experienced and so you feel less alone. I'd whole heartedly recommend this movie to folks with some professional life experience. If you've got a bit of creativity in you, you'll like this move even more.

Couple of months ago, I was working for a corporate where I found myself as *a number in a column on a spreadsheet* as Orson said to the other employees in the end of the movie. I encourage you to search for the room Orson found in this movie, you may find it in a way you do to improve your work regardless the restricted rules of corporates. I encourage you to communicate with your boss like Orson did, you have the total right to tell him what makes you feel better and more concentrated to get your job done perfectly and if this doesn't affect your colleagues and company rules, your boss has to be flexible and accept your requirements to make you do your job efficiently, as my current boss do. I think this is the moral of this story, and I liked it a lot honestly.

A tale of absurdity, distance, disaffection and solace "Corner Office" is a glimpse at the comfort people seek through the compartmentalized isolation of the modern corporate world. Orson is an employee in a typical office. Tall, spectacled, withdrawn and strangely inscrutable he's the bonafide oddball who elicits immediate amusement. When he takes constant visits to "The Room", a place situated between the office and the toilet coworkers and the boss react predictably leading to some tense moments considering it's only Orson who believes the room exists. With his brushed-down hair, glasses, moustache, stare from below, slightly bloated features and articulate monotone Jon Hamm's neurotic nerve-wracked Orson is the star of the show as he steals every scene embodying the surreal singularity of this modern day Bartleby. Like most offbeat films there are parts that drag but to viewers with a taste for the different this is well worth the view. A reflective portrayal of alienation in an age of indifference, negativity and self-centeredness "Corner Office" is a dark comedic gaze at society and the comfort zone people desperately seek to survive, whether it exists or not.

I read the reviews before I watched it. I completely agree with the ones that said, you'll like it or you'll hate it, I was intrigued to see which group I'd fall into. Like most films or TV shows one watches, it helps & in some instances it's critical to form an attachment to, or relate to characters. I think this all pivots around whether you have OCD or similar tendencies, if you do I think you'll find this interesting & relatable in one form or another. This is currently a 5.9 as I write this. The uniqueness of this project in my opinion earns this more than that & I usually don't like quirky or unusual stuff. Another bonus for me is that it has a conclusive ending, none of this modern ambiguous let's leave the ending to the viewer nonsense. So In conclusion I found it satisfying, but again if you're an outgoing adventurous typical middle child extraverted type, then this might not be your kind of thing. If you're on the introverted spectrum somewhere, analytical, maybe overthink stuff sometimes, then it may well appeal to you.
