Review of Elevator

Elevator (2024)
6/10
Love letter to migrant workers
22 August 2024
Under the garb of a romantic comedy, writer/director Philip King has created a watchable film. The story takes place in Singapore, and it won't take long for you to realise that this is lot more interesting than it looks. It is more poignant when watched as a love letter to migrant workers who have aspirations of becoming famous.

The narrative centres on Paulo Avelino's character Jared, a lift operator who defies convention by attempting to make a formal lift pitch to each VIP customer in the posh hotel and casino where he works. Jared has experience working in many occupations across the globe, and he developed an app to facilitate the connection between migratory workers and potential employers. His buddies, who are all from different nations and who work at the hotel, are collaborating to help Jared find an investor.

The crew didn't do many daring manoeuvres while filming, thus it seemed like a precise, formulaic movie!
