Inside | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The film runs out of things to do faster than Willem Dafoe whose unique survival story becomes less compelling the moment it tries to take us further inside his head to concentrate on the why whether than the what ifs.

Like the penthouse, Inside is a lavishly decorated, but ultimately sparse, reflection on art.

Though undeniably on-the-nose, Vasilis Katsoupis’s survival film delivers a sturdy meditation on the value of art and an even sturdier Willem Dafoe performance.

We’re left with a movie with a Willem Dafoe in splendid form, great technical execution and an intriguing premise, but that doesn’t really do anything with it, and gets lost in its own cleverness instead.

Give credit to them for building certain areas but after an hour and a half film starts to lose me. Dafoe is great, the cinematography is great, and directing is stellar, but this is not my cup of tea even if the film is well made.
