Exam || How many people would agree to be subjected to an 80-minute test to shape the next 80 years of your life?

Review by @cute-cactus · 1384d · of Exam

Do you like puzzles?

I don't know how many people would accept being subjected to an 80-minute test to shape the next 80 years of your life, but I wouldn't. I would know that I wouldn't live another 80 years with a simple logic calculation, but things are not always as they seem...

...just like the 2009 British film Exam! The film is about confining 8 people who dream of finding a high position job in a room, putting a blank paper and pen in front of them and subjecting them to a one-question exam.

If a few simple rules are not followed, it causes disqualification from the exam and the 80-minute exam process full of tension begins. Although the whole film revolves around people imprisoned in a room, it offers tension-filled minutes with a smooth and smooth progression.

I must say that I relived the exam psychology of years ago while watching it, but every minute of it I made slang sentences like "why are you standing there, get out, leave the exam and I'll do it like that." lololol

8 people in the room both collaborate while trying to find the question and create a competitive environment with each other, and after a while they attack each other because of their out of control psychology. Although it seems like a film with a small thought but a big impact, it makes you sweat and makes you feel too tense during the viewing. This shows that the film is successful, even though I know that if the same thing happened to me, I would leave the exam room without a second thought!

Exam is also successful in triggering the already existing curiosity because you are curious about the next step of the people trapped in a narrow space and which one of them will be disqualified from the exam.

I don't think that any of the actors of the film stands out more than the other. They don't draw a graph with ups and downs in their performances. They are both friends and rivals, each stably focused on the exam, the unseen question and the position to be given after the exam.

I think it should definitely be watched, I don't know the cost figures, but I got the feeling that the production value of the film was low budget. How expensive can a film shot with 8 people in the same room be! But when the effect of the film is considered, the equation breaks down and the success bar goes up. At least with a simple exam, a high tension line was created and the sense of curiosity was at its peak.

Most of the time I don't rate films, I recommend or don't recommend watching them, but I always give some of the reasons. Watch it, for these reasons or don't watch it, for these reasons! I think the film deserves a score of 7 and above, if I am more fair, I can even give 8 points.

The screenplay-director-actors triangle in the film worked smoothly! And I think the screenplay is the best.
