Elizabeth wakes up inside a cryogenic chamber without knowing who she is and how she got there. With the oxygen level running low, she will have to rebuild her memory in order to get the answer that can save her.
Oxygen is perhaps the most interesting film (so far) about the covid 19 pandemic, without mentioning the covid 19 pandemic.
Director Alexandre Aja dives into a sci-fi after a long filmography in the terror and suspense genres, and toasting the audience with a film that leaves us clinging, more for the eagerness to understand how the story ends than for the steps it takes until reaching the conclusion.
Mélanie Laurent is the protagonist in this one woman show, providing a solid role. As the layers of the story are being deciphered, there are elements in the narrative that are predictable, but that doesn't limit the pace and rhythm.
It's a one scenario film, but thanks to a decent job from the photography department, we never felt a repetition of the same action, which helps to avoid going into monotonous mode.
Positive notes for the script and direction, but there's no great lessons to be learned from this film.
