The Platform (2019) follows a man trapped in a vertical prison with one cell per level. A platform descends each day from the top full of loads of food, therefore those at the top get the most food but those at the bottom get none. For the most part I really liked this film! It wasn’t outstanding to me but it was an interesting and fairly unique concept. It reminded me a lot of the film Snowpiercer!
The movie had some good, ominous colour palettes consisting of a lot of cold colours. The cinematography was pretty decent, however on some levels it was quite average. But I’m very interested to see how it was filmed! The movie also had a lot of gross visuals that left my stomach churning!
The characters are all interesting and I loved the mystery surrounded most of them! For a film with a lot of important characters, it manages to pull it off quite well! I mainly liked the protagonist and often felt myself feeling pretty sorry for him.
The film was draining to watch, but in a good way! There was a really intense sense of dread throughout the whole movie and this kept the story constantly entertaining. It took a lot of shocking twists and turns and ended up getting very dark and disturbing, I was surprised by how messed up it was. It particularly got tense in the last half an hour.
The Platform has a lot of good metaphors and interesting themes and messages. However, near the very end the whole ‘metaphor’ thing gets a bit too much and left me wanting more. I was underwhelmed with the ending but luckily this doesn’t fully spoil the film for me!
3.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

The Platform (#Spanish: El hoyo, transl. The Hole) is a 2019 Spanish #social #science #fiction horror film directed by #GalderGazteluUrrutia.
The film is set in a large, tower-style "Vertical Self-Management Center". Its residents, who are switched every 30 days between its many floors, are fed via a platform which, initially filled with #food at the top floor, gradually descends through the #towers levels, stopping for a fixed amount of #time on each. The system inevitably leads to conflict, as the residents at the top levels get to eat as much as they can, with each level getting only the leftovers from the previous ones.
The film premiered at the 2019 #TorontoInternationalFilmFestival (TIFF), where it won the #PeoplesChoiceAward for Midnight Madness. At TIFF, the film also secured a #worldwide streaming deal with #Netflix. It was released on the #streamingservice on 20 March 2020.
