Machinations

About This Movie

So, 'Machinations' is this quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that feels like it meanders through its own narrative. You've got Robert Soxer, a rising star in politics, who finds himself in this unexpected setting—a kitchen and bath shop. The atmosphere is kind of offbeat, with Leon, the owner, really embodying that enthusiastic supporter vibe. The pacing dances between light-hearted banter and deeper reflections on ambition and relationships, especially through Rachael's character, who's dealing with her own heartbreak amidst the campaign chaos. It’s interesting how the film uses practical effects sparingly, allowing the dialogue and characters to take center stage. You’ll notice performances that feel genuine, almost like a slice-of-life approach too.
