The incredible shots and Mélanie Laurent's acting are the best part of this film. The development of the high concept — a movie transpiring in the same place — doesn't cover new ground, and the twists don't come as a genuine shock, but theThe incredible shots and Mélanie Laurent's acting are the best part of this film. The development of the high concept — a movie transpiring in the same place — doesn't cover new ground, and the twists don't come as a genuine shock, but the frustration of the main character is palpable. The ending is disappointing, though.

I've never been interested at all in Alexandre Aja's work, but 'Oxygen' could be a breath of fresh air (pun intended) for anyone tired of his horror films.… Expand

C’est Alexandre Aja, spécialiste français de nanars hollywoodiens plus ou moins horrifiques (et plus ou moins médiocres) qui tourne en France pour Netflix avec notre jolie Mélanie Laurent nationale : celle-ci se retrouve en l’occurrence dansC’est Alexandre Aja, spécialiste français de nanars hollywoodiens plus ou moins horrifiques (et plus ou moins médiocres) qui tourne en France pour Netflix avec notre jolie Mélanie Laurent nationale : celle-ci se retrouve en l’occurrence dans un caisson pendant plus d’une heure et demi… en manque d’oxygène !

Notre curiosité est éveillée, puis titillée et intriguée par ce thriller claustrophobe qui multiplie les rebondissements sans compter… on ne s’ennuie certainement pas et la réalisation est de bon aloi. On avait déjà eu ce genre de film avec « Buried » et Ryan Reynolds dans un cercueil…

Et on retombe sur les mêmes travers ici, des travers ayant tous la même origine et la même cause : le scénario ! en effet, le scénar est truffé d’incohérences et aussi solide qu’un chateau de cartes pendant un tremblement de terre, c’est dire s’il ne tient pas debout ! difficile d’y accorder le moindre crédit dans ces conditions à la limite du grotesque…

On aime bien Mélanie et ça reste tout à fait divertissant mais faudrait arrêter de nous prendre pour des connards sauvages !… Expand

Mélanie Laurent does her job considering the script.

This film shouldn't have lasted as long as it does, and the lack of excitement is lapidary, so much that the film never gets rid of the predicament.

The execution isn't bad, it's just that it lacked thrills, and more momentum.… Expand

This film should have been a short, perhaps 30 mins maximum. The film is held together by the lead but doesn't provide enough to think about to justify a full length film
