If you've ever worked in a similar job to that of the main characters in this film, then you know what kind of inner world goes on inside those walls.

But just how interesting it turns out to be in the end is perhaps the toughest test for this film, and one that it doesn't pass in the best manner, but pulls through with enough grace to keep you interested. It's that typical scenario where nothing seems to happen and yet there's a lot going on there. Expand

It does improve but not for quite some time - not long off an hour into the film does the real premise show up, so to speak, which is a shame. I'd understand people becoming bored and losing interest in it. However, I thought it became surprisingly quite touching and sad in different scenes, due to different sub-plots. Its certainly not as memorable or funny as Toni Erdmann, although it is categorised as a drama, rather than a comedy but it does also star Sandra Huller, who was in Toni Erdmann. By the end of the film, I felt it was reasonably good, its a quirky watch - it's certainly not a gripping watch per se but it's ok. It may be quite thought provoking for some. It shows the main character, Christian, in his new workplace being quite a looming and industrial place - there's almost a feel of isolation, a clinical-ness about it, with Christian left mostly on his own to work in the long aisles of the store at night.

I wouldn't go out of your way to watch this as such, overall, so no, I wouldn't recommend it.
