Il Posto reviews

Il Posto holds a 7.7/10 average from 190 TMDB ratings.

If you’ve ever worked in a mundane, repetitive, environment then this will probably resonate quite effectively - especially if there were a collection of interviews, mental and physical acuity tests and some examinations requiring passing before you even got through the front door (and to the awaiting, grumpy, commissionaire!). Well “Domenico” (Sandro Panseri) concludes that his suburban life will amount to nothing…
— CinemaSerf (7/10)

With his family mired in financial troubles, Domenico moves to Milan, Italy, from his small town to get a job in lieu of furthering his education. A lack of options forces him to take a position as a messenger at a big company, where he hopes to receive a promotion soon. There, Domenico meets Antonietta, a young woman in a similar situation as himself. The two form a tentative relationship, but the soulless nature of their jobs threatens to keep them apart.
