A really cool idea for an allegory, but it could’ve, and should’ve, gone a lot deeper with its social commentary.
A lot of it feels half baked and not all that sharp.
Also, the characters are flat, and it leaves you with a lot of questions that needed to be cleared up (Why do people go to this place? Who’s behind it? Etc.)

@jordyep I think that not having answers place us in the character's perspective; we know as much as him. It reminds me Cube (https://trakt.tv/movies/cube-1997)

@leonardoamx You're right, most of it is from his perspective (not all of it though, there are also scenes in the kitchen), but I don't think that matters. If they wanted, they could've dropped some exposition through the other characters we meet throughout his journey (it certainly would fit with the lady who did his interview). If you're going to intrigue me with so many questions, there has to be some pay off to it. Not every detail needs to be answered, but I felt like this took a very lazy approach. On the other hand, we've seen films recently where explaining the mechanics of it all broke the film, such as _Escape Room_. So maybe they took the smart route by being lazy.

@jmant Don't take this personal but saying those things doesn't mean anything if you don't care to explain as to why.
