PROGRAMMER’S PICK A man trapped in an endless sterile subway passageway sets out to find Exit 8. The rules of his quest are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on. Then leave from Exit 8. But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape this infinite corridor?
…feels attuned to the malaise of our moment. The film turns a simple subway loop into a mirror of modernity, reflecting a world madly spinning off its axis. -Toronto Star
…the movie’s sparseness does give it some mileage as an allegory for how changing things up is the only way to break a cycle of destructive, circular thinking. -Variety
It’s ultimately a clever and unshakeable nightmare about embracing the possibility of change, and the fear that comes with the unknown. -Rogerebert.com
Exit 8 is a thriller about how the idea of being a parent can become so abstract that it feels immense and terrifying, but that it’s not actually that daunting to decide to be there for another person, whatever that might mean. -New York Magazine
