Commute

About This Movie

Commute (2009) is a quirky little comedy that really nails that absurdity of daily life in LA. The film revolves around a commuter juggling work calls amidst the chaos of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and it’s almost like a documentary of our times, you know? The pacing feels just right for the frantic vibe of the drive, and the satirical elements are sharp but not overdone. The performances are solid, you really get a sense of this guy's frustration and relentless effort to keep his sanity. It’s got this almost surreal atmosphere, especially when you consider the practical effects and how they depict the gridlock. Not your typical plot-driven fare, but there’s a charm in its simplicity and relatability.
