Exceptional film - One of These Days review by SW

Spoiler Alert

An immersive and original piece of film making. The characters in this film had real depth. There was such a sense of place.

So glad I caught this one.

Average Social Drama - One of These Days review by GI

Spoiler Alert
16/01/2023

An American small town drama centred around a contest to win a truck where the contestants have to keep one hand on the vehicle. The last one standing wins. There are some other rules but suffice to say the contest highlights the desperation and personal issues of the characters to some degree. Sadly the film delves too little into them instead concentrating on Kyle (Joe Cole), an unemployed man with a wife and baby to support and Joan (Carrie Preston), an employee of the dealership who oversees the competition. As the hours and days drag on the competitors become more catatonic through lack of sleep and tempers get frayed leading to some bizarre events which may or may not be hallucinatory. There's a narrative twist that kinda works but by the time it occurs you'll probably not care because as the characters become more dozy so will you! It's a watchable film but lacks depth as we basically spend the near two hours watching people sort of worshipping the truck by simply standing there hands on.
