Corner Office is a sometimes-funny satire stuffed with capitalist ennui, but it bites with dull teeth, failing to provide enough support for its sentiment to stick.
IGN by Siddhant Adlakha
Corner Office is a just-okay office satire saved by Jon Hamm playing the anti-Jon Hamm.
IndieWire by David Ehrlich
It’s only towards the very end, when the film’s satire and surrealism pull apart from each other like a party cracker, that the tension brewing in Orson’s department becomes compelling enough to justify the busywork of creating it.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Corner Office succeeds all too well in conveying the deadening effects of office work, practically serving as a testimonial to the pandemic-created trend of working from home.
Variety by Peter Debruge
Like head-in-the-clouds Orson, Back’s debut feature imagines more for itself than others can see, though only the latter has earned a shot at another job.
The Playlist by Jason Bailey
Hamm makes himself look bland, which is no small accomplishment. But he’s also smothering much of what makes him an exciting actor.
