Stapler

About This Movie

So, 'Stapler' is this intriguing little drama that kind of sneaks up on you. It's about John, who gets a call from a buddy about missing a party, and then, out of nowhere, his stapler starts talking to him. Yeah, I know it sounds odd, but the way it unfolds feels quite atmospheric. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the surreal nature of a mundane object taking on a life of its own. The themes of loneliness and connection are explored in a fairly unique way, and the practical effects keep it grounded, which I appreciate. It’s those little performances that really sell the premise—John’s interactions with the stapler are oddly moving, making you think about the mundane things in life.
