Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: One for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The Valet enters a hotel room with Joseph Garcin in tow. The windowless room has a single entrance and no mirrors. Two women, Inès Serrano and Estelle Rigault, are then led in; afterwards, the Valet leaves and locks the door. Realising that they are in hell, the trio expects to be tortured; however, no torturer is forthcoming. While waiting, they strike up a conversation and discuss each other's sins, desires, and unpleasant memories. Adaptation of the play by Jean-Paul Sartre.
