Life in Overtime

About This Movie

So, 'Life in Overtime' is this dramedy that really immerses you in the mundanity and discomfort of corporate life, especially as you near the end of your career. The pacing is quite deliberate, almost mirroring the protagonist's own feelings of stagnation. You’ve got this character who’s been so laser-focused on his job, and then suddenly he’s tossed into a subsidiary—kind of like being put out to pasture. The film has some nice practical effects in its more humorous moments, which adds a touch of realism to the absurdity he’s facing. Performances are subtle but impactful, capturing that mix of comedy and pathos without overdoing it. It's not flashy but leaves a lingering impression on what it means to really live versus just existing in a job.
