high-concept lacks tension
10 July 2023
Mikey Walsh (Emile Hirsch) and Kate Frith (Kate Bosworth) are a troubled couple with a chance to win $5 million. They have stay in an all-white room for 50 days to win that money. It's called "The Immaculate Room". Simone (Ashley Greene) is an actress sent into the room as one of Mikey's "treats".

This is a high-concept indie with some recognizable faces. The concept may be edgier when reality-TV was in its infancy. In the year 2022, this movie is barely a blip in the conversation. It wouldn't make for great TV and this is a rather slow movie. The tension is never that high despite all the manufactured drama. I do wonder if the writer comes up with the concept first and write around it.
