Plot: One day Goreng wakes up with his future colleague Trimagasi in the 33rd level of a prison style place, crossed by a hole where a platform descends with meal remains left from the tenants from higher levels. Trimagasi knows the rules that govern this mysterious place: two people per level and an unknown number of them. If you go upwards you survive... but think too much and you will descend again. If you are in the bottom where the food barely arrives, you cannot trust anyone except your guts.
My Movie Review: The movie is a shocking must-see thriller that's perfectly fit to see in our current state of isolation and panic buying as the world experience this massive real pandemic! The Platform is an eye opener on global food crisis and society hierarchy presented by higher floors to the bottom- surreal and very manic this high concept horror suspense is one to catch:) As the cinema's goes dark and we can't leave the house due to extreme lock-down we found online entertainment suitable to our needs and Netflix is the best remedy delivering brand new series and movies- The Platform as my first Netflix reviewed movie can change how I write and post review movie as this might be the future for now I just go with the flow until cinema is back on it's feet again I may not agree with moving premiere dates luckily we still have Netflix films:0 The Platform may seem dark and weird at first but has it goes on it gets better thrilling and exciting once you get the concept you'll get hook on what's gonna happen next its astounding:)
Critics Consensus: While it may feel muddled at times, The Platform is an inventive and captivating dystopian thriller. Ultimately, The Platform might not have that much to say... but what it does say, it says effectively and ruthlessly, eschewing a tap on the shoulder for a punch in the face instead. A film with multiple impressive twists given its
limited setting, and each of them casts a new light on how the movie is
supposed to reflect society. A must-see in our increasingly unequal world, Gaztelu-Urrutia's astonishing debut makes a strong case for the masses to eat the rich. "The Platform" is not a subtle film. But these are unsubtle times, with unsubtle problems, and the most alarming thing about this grimly affecting Spanish allegory... is that it sometimes doesn't seem like an allegory at all. Gaztelu-Urrutia's allegory is clear. What he's after, though, isn't as simple as eat the rich. He's curious about how the poor devour each other. The Platform feels like a sledgehammer to the chest. It's bleak yet hopeful ending offers no real solution to classism and privilege and timeliness echoes as it fades to the credits.
